Sustainable Dairy Cropping Systems Project Cropping system strategies conserve soil, nutrients, energy, & biodiversity. Examples: – continuous soil cover with perennials, double crops with winter annuals – no-till & manure injection – IPM, diverse rotations – alternative weed control practices Monitoring multiple performance indicators Examples: – crop & dairy herd production – nutrient losses, soil health – pest populations, beneficial insects – profitability – energy use, greenhouse gas emissions Relevant grants: NESARE Agroecosystems NIFA Dairy CAP CIG NRCS EPA Center for Nutrient Solutions Plans to simulate impact at watershed scale
