The Farm Bill Sodsaver provision, implemented in other states in the region, addressed this disconnect by reducing crop insurance assistance for farmers who break up native sod and convert it to ...
Studies show that carbon uptake (negative emissions) is lowest in open pastures, intermediate in silvopastures, and highest in reference forests. This pattern is consistent across systems like tree alley-cropping and orchard-hay systems. Open pastures have higher CO₂ fluxes due to factors like soil respiration and warmer temperatures.
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is a cost-share and rental payment program of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Under the program, the government pays farmers to take certain agriculturally used croplands out of production and convert them to vegetative cover, such as cultivated or native bunchgrasses and grasslands, wildlife and pollinators food and shelter plantings ...
