Abstract: The demand for organic food has increased tremendously over the last decade in the U.S. In the Southeast, the high demand for organic food has sparked an interest among conventional vegetable growers about organic production techniques and put increasing demand on existing organic growers. However, there is little information available on profitable organic vegetable crops suitable for the region. This study analyzes crop rotation systems for high value cool-season vegetables to develop production and economic models that will help growers increase profit and reduce risk. Economic and statistical analyses provide useful information on net returns by crops and by rotations as well as the variability in net returns.
