Grassland Harvest Could Conserve Resources, Benefit Farmers And Curb Government Spending (Eurasia Review)

A new long-term research study shows the potential for biomass production from perennial grasslands in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).

Economic analysis indicates that a 25 percent rental reduction in harvest years could incentivize farmers to keep land in CRP, allow them to earn revenue, and save the government millions in annual payments.
