Successful farming can be more than just growing crops or raising livestock. Producers are looking for innovative ways to save energy and improve the environment while also increasing profits.
A new publication called the “2015 Greenbook” presents a set of stories about sustainable agriculture research and demonstration projects taking place on Minnesota crop, livestock, fruit and vegetable farms.
The projects came to life through the state’s Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant program, which provides money for testing farming ideas related to conservation, energy, profitability and quality of life.
