How Low Can We Go: Nitrogen in Dairy Rations- Mike McMahon
McMahon’s EZ Acres Farm is located in Central New York. It is owned by two brothers and has soils of varying drainage qualities. The farm has 675 cows and typically 545 heifers. It is located near a municipal well and protected trout stream. More nutrients are imported onto the farm as purchased feeds than are exported in milk and animals, with the remainder accumulating on the farm or being lost to the environment and causing air and water quality issues. One approach to address this is to minimize imports and maximize the use of existing nutrients by recycling manure on the farm through practices like growing feed crops, intensive grasslands, and storing manure for flexible application.

Jamgoria sevabrata purulia
The document describes two villages that received help from a DBI (Distributed Buried Irrigation) system installed by Sevabrata. In Baraghutu village, the DBI supplied water to 50 acres of land for 60 Santhal tribe families, allowing paddy and other crops to avoid dry spells. It also helped irrigate land for 17 families in a nearby hamlet. In Baliguma village, the DBI supplied water to 125 acres for 165 households, helping farmers avoid dry spells and increase production, so that now they have 8 months of food and additional wheat/mustard crops.
Emmons week 3 - food needs and yields and micro-climate
The document discusses the food needs and yields for a small backyard homesteading site with limited sun exposure. It calculates the space needed to grow various crops to meet the dietary needs of a 2-person household eating mostly vegetarian. Due to the small size of the property and limited full sun area of only 300 square feet, complete self-sufficiency is not realistic and dietary changes or bartering would be needed. Prioritizing crops that can thrive in part-shade conditions and being adaptable with crop selection and use is recommended.
Doubled-Up Legumes in Malawi
Doubled-up legumes, where two legume crops are grown together, provides a sustainable approach to increasing cereal production in Malawi. The study found that growing groundnuts and pigeon peas together (doubled-up legumes) resulted in higher legume and subsequent maize yields than sole cropping. Specifically, doubled-up legumes led to a 35% increase in land equivalent ratios compared to sole cropped legumes or fertilized maize. The rotational benefits of doubled-up legumes also increased maize yields in the second year without added fertilizer compared to sole cropped legumes or unfertilized maize. This innovative practice combines the complementary traits of different legume species to improve soil fertility and
BarrettMiller_Food_and_Microclimate
This document discusses the food needs and microclimate conditions of a 4-person household to determine sustainable food production on their land. It provides calculations of the yearly yields and space requirements for various fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. The microclimate map shows the property receives more sun and heat in front near the road, gets colder and wetter in back, and has frost pockets near the house and woods. Higher light crops would be grown in the full sun middle, while shade tolerant crops can utilize other areas. Legumes can be intercropped throughout.
Greg Luce
Greg Luce discusses several factors impacting crop yields in the Midwest, including weather, fertility, and lack of pushing parameters. Breeding over the past 20 years has increased drought tolerance in corn and improved pest resistance in soybeans. Luce believes 150 bushel beans and 400 bushel corn are obtainable, having seen yields near those levels on Kip Cullers' farm. Key factors for high yields include irrigation, solid fertility, good drainage, high-yielding genetics, and protecting yields with insecticides and fungicides. Nutrient use efficiency may not be compromised at super high yield levels if hybrids are more stress tolerant.
Gabe Brown - Soil Health with Polycultures
This document discusses Gabe Brown's methods for improving soil health at his ranch in North Dakota. Brown focuses on sustainability through soil health using practices like season-long planned grazing, converting CRP land to grazing, recovery-based grazing with high stock density and strip grazing. He extends the grazing season with cover crops and uses no-till. Brown advocates imitating native prairie with diverse crop mixes and continuous living roots. The document shows how cover crops and grazing improve soil organic matter and nutrient levels over time.

Mann2012CropsV2
Timmy Mann from Ben Hill Griffin, Inc. presented on foliar fertilizers. He discussed that foliar fertilizers provide a practical approach to plant nutrition and increase disease resistance and production. Proper foliar fertilizers are soluble and compatible with other products. Nutrient deficiencies can weaken plant defenses and increase susceptibility to disease, while maintaining optimal nutrient levels through foliar applications supports both plant health and higher yields. Studies show that foliar applications of nutrients like potassium nitrate and monoammonium phosphate can increase orange production and quality.

The document provides details about the hypothetical village of Palampur, where farming is the main economic activity. It describes Palampur's population, infrastructure, agricultural practices, factors of production, and how farming and non-farming activities generate income and employment for villagers. Specifically, it notes that multiple cropping and use of modern farming methods have increased crop yields but may threaten long-term sustainability of the land. It also explains how land ownership affects livelihoods and that small farmers, landless laborers, and non-farm jobs are important for local livelihoods and income.
Agriculture Slideshow
Agriculture can take several forms including commercial farming which aims to make a profit, sedentary farming where people permanently settle to farm the land, and shifting farming where farmers move areas. Arable farming involves growing crops while pastoral farming focuses on rearing animals. Political factors also influence farming through policies like set-aside which pays farmers not to use some lands, production quotas from the EU, and subsidies to support farmers.
Extending The Growing Season 2009 Asia Conference (No Text)
1) Current challenges facing small-scale farmers include small farm sizes, declining soil fertility, low crop yields, high fuelwood needs, and poor land management practices.
2) Relying solely on rainy season production in the tropics risks food insecurity, as small margins of error can lead to hunger.
3) Extending the growing season beyond the rainy season through innovative farming techniques, perennial crops, diversification, and integration can help achieve year-round production.

Economics Chapter 1 Notes Class 9
Palampur village has approximately 450 families from various castes. Agriculture is the main occupation, with 75% of people dependent on farming. The village has fairly well developed infrastructure like roads, electricity, schools and health centers. Farming practices have modernized through the use of high yielding seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation, allowing multiple crops to be grown each year. However, land degradation is a concern due to the impacts of chemical usage and groundwater depletion from tubewells. Aside from farming, some villagers engage in dairy, small manufacturing, shops and transport services.

sap 6
Agriculture involves the active production of plants and animals in human-created ecosystems. It includes cultivating soil, growing and harvesting crops, and raising livestock. Agriculture developed independently in many places around the world starting around 14,500-12,000 years ago. Early domesticated crops include barley in the Middle East, millet in China, and squash in the Americas. Domesticated livestock developed during this same period, although dogs were domesticated earlier. Agriculture can be viewed as a farming system involving inputs like seeds, fertilizers, machinery and labor and outputs like crops, wool, dairy and poultry products.

Ley farming ppt
Ley farming involves rotating grass or legumes with grain crops to improve soil fertility. It is a dynamic system where various annual and perennial crops are grown in both long and short term rotations. This improves soil nitrogen content, organic matter, controls weeds, prevents erosion, and improves livestock efficiency. While it requires time and investment, ley farming systems are more profitable than continuous cropping due to reduced costs and improved soil quality over time.
