Biomass Production from Perennial Grasslands Increases Economic Benefits of CRP Land

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was established 30 years ago by the USDA’s Farm Service Agency as part of an initiative to boost habitat for sensitive wildlife species, minimize soil erosion, and enhance the quality of water. Farmers receive rent from the program in exchange for land to be removed from crop production and planted with species that enhance the quality of the environment. The land, as well as its cover crop, would be left untouched for a period of 10 to 15 years.

Using Organic Manure Instead of Chemical Fertilizer Can Help Decrease Emission of Greenhouse Gases

Approximately 35% of global greenhouse gases (GHGs) come from agriculture. Some argues that human can reverse global worming by sequestering several hundred billion tons of excess CO2 through regenerative, organic farming, ranching and land use.
