Crop rotation is a common agronomic practice that involves the systematic sequencing of different crops in a specific field over several seasons. This technique aims to enhance soil fertility, control pests and diseases, and optimize crop yield. This added organic matter enhances soil structure and microbial activity.

Regenerative farmers adopt a range of practices, such as cover cropping, crop rotation, reduced tillage, and diverse planting, to regenerate the soil and promote natural systems within their farms.

It’s a question that has multiple answers since the current sustainable grain market is segmented, with multiple programs initiating their own certification requirements. It’s likely that within this centralized market, carbon emissions and sequestration will be part of the formula used to determine whether grain was sustainably grown.

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.

That proposition has been markedly influenced by similar state policies including California’s Converting Our Waste Sustainably (COWS) Act, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through pasture-based manure management. As a result, smaller producers often face greater hurdles in adopting any practices that sit outside the mainstream.

Currently, CSP only offers SAPs for Resource Conserving Crop Rotations , Improved Resource Conserving Crop Rotations , and Advanced Grazing Management. Alternative Manure Management Practices (AMMP) The FFNSA does not contain a proposal to support AMMP technologies as envisioned in the ARA or the COWS Act.

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.
