1. Evaluating the Trade-offs of Cover Crops in Dryland Wheat Systems of the Colorado Plateau On the semi-arid Colorado Plateau, dryland farmers are challenged by severely degraded soils and low and increasingly unreliable precipitation. Cover crops have been shown to improve soil fertility and mitigate soil erosion in many regions, but are also associated with use of limited soil moisture, a cost that could mean decreased cash crop productivity for farmers. Most literature on cover crops comes from relatively humid climates, where crop yield penalties due to cover crops may be less pronounced.... L. Eash, A. Berrada, K. Russell, S. Fonte Download paper
2. Forages and Livestock to Diversify Wheat-based Cropping System Integrating annual forages and ruminant livestock to intensify dryland cropping systems have the potential to increase profitability, increase water use efficiency, and improve soil health. The objective of this study was to determine the crop yield and soil property impacts of intensifying traditional no-till winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench)-fallow (W-GS-F) with annual forages as well as integrating livestock. This study was initiated... Z. Carson, A. Obour, J. Holman, K. Roozeboom Download paper
