Producer Perspectives on Land and Resource Utilization
Each year, agricultural producers consider how to make the most of their land and other resources in order to optimize farm yields, profits, and sustainability. Many factors influence how farmers determine their crop mix, whether to plant cover or perennial crops, and what the most productive uses are for manure and agricultural residues, which can be used either as fertilizer or as raw materials for new bio-based energy and other products.
