The Rotational Benefits of Forages: Environment Provide wildlife habitat Reduce soil erosion Reduce pesticide use Reduce energy use Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Hay fields, pastures and riparian zones valuable habitat for many species of wildlife. Species loss due to habitat loss can lead to imbalances in the ecosystem and problems such as greater pest pressure.

When soil is lost to erosion, it is lost forever. Along with soil, valuable organic matter and nutrients are also lost. Forages help to stabilize erodable land.

Annual based system with full inputs Net return $28/acre/yr Energy use 6220 MJ/ha/yr C emissions 98 kg/ha/yr Pesticide applications 2-3 per yr

Forage based system with no inputs Net return $94/acre/yr Energy use 1743 MJ/ha/yr C emissions 27 kg/ha/yr Pesticide applications 0

21.9 bu/acre - +pesticide +fertilizer 1999

21.9 bu/acre - 8th organic crop Forages help to sustain crop yield

10’ tubes with alfalfa -root growth and C deposition More carbon is stored by forages - value in reducing greenhouse gas emissions
