Re-Grassing Farmland : A Practical Guide To Selecting The Right Forage Species

A practical manual intended to assist producers in selecting perennial forage species suited to local environmental conditions and intended agricultural use. Drawing on field experience, the publication outlines the advantages of establishing forages on marginal land, including soil conservation and erosion control, improved soil structure and nutrient cycling, management of salinity, and support for diversified farm operations. It also addresses broader environmental considerations such as watershed function, wildlife habitat, and reduced reliance on fossil fuel inputs.
