As animal feed or if you want a lot for soup etc they are great. Also good for breaking up the soil a bit if you're planning a multi-year rotation, if the soil was a bit tired somewhere I'd consider forking in manure then growing artichokes, remove and grow clover or other green manure and kill recurring artichokes year after.
