Agroecosystems and Land Resources of the Northern Great Plains

Abstract: The northern Great Plains have long been dominated by conventional tillage systems and cereal‐based rotations including summer fallow. Over the last decade, however, the use of conservation tillage systems has markedly increased and, through improved moisture storage, has provided an opportunity for more diversified extended rotations including oilseed, pulse, and forage crops throughout the region. Considerable research is being carried out to assess the adaptability of these new crops and to develop appropri… Show more

“…Differences were more apparent at the West site (Fig. 2), which is typically the more arid of the two sites (Padbury et al, 2002). In 2016, dryland+irrigation treatments had consistently higher VWC values.…”

“…Since the East sites are close in proximity and thus similar environmentally, long term precipitation and temperature information is provided for Fargo. The long-term (1981-2010) mean annual precipitation is 498 mm and mean annual temperature is 4.4°C (Padbury et al, 2002). The dominant soil type is a Warsing loam (Fine-loamy, mixed, superactive, frigid, Oxyaquid Hapludoll) with 0 to 3% slope in Absaraka and Fargo Silty Clay (Fine, smectitic, frigid, Epiaquerts) with 0 to 3% slope in Fargo.…”

“…Though climatically distinct from the subtropical conditions of Brazil, the semiarid northern Great Plains of North America shares common attributes of extensive beef cattle production and abundant grazing resources (USDA 2017;Statistics Canada 2016). Nonirrigated cropland is common throughout the region, occupying over 51 Mha (Padbury et al 2002). Moreover, cropland is often juxtaposed to rangeland, providing agricultural producers the potential to utilize cropland for livestock when rangeland forage conditions are of poor nutritive value or in limited supply.…”
