Two neighbors, Farmer A and Farmer B: both farm 1,000 acres and use the same crop rotation schedule. Farmer A tills 30% of their fields, uses cover crops on 20%, and applies anhydrous ammonia. Farmer B tills 50% of their fields, uses cover crops on 40%, and uses stable nitrogen sources. Consider this scenario.

Including noncrop vegetation alongside crops may further increase genetic diversity in a geographic area, as with prairie strips or field borders and other conservation buffers within or adjacent to crop fields. And diversity may also include the temporal diversity of crop rotations.

Crop rotations and use of cover crops reduce erosion and improve soil health. The Britts also adopted a rotational grazing system and fenced cattle out of streams and ponds to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. Using manure as a natural fertilizer helps them maximize the efficiency of having cattle and crops.

A small sheep herd that was on the property from when her parents farmed the land was integrated into organic crop rotation. Elderberry, becoming popular as a hedgerow crop, provides both farm income and ecological benefits. In 2014, she and Rafkin started transitioning to organic. They were a rough crew of sheep!”
