    7 Crop Groups in our Project

    Crop Groups Organic Growing Methods
    All the sites in our project fall into one of seven crop groups. Most groups include both organic and conventional fields.
    • Dryland Grains: Dryland wheat and millet, no irrigation, using a crop-fallow system.
    • Commodity Row Crops: Irrigated crops like corn, triticale, wheat, hemp, beans, sugar beets, barley, millet, and silage.
    • Commercial Vegetable/Flower/Fruit: Irrigated vegetables, flowers and fruit, sold commercially.
    • Perennial Hay/Alfalfa/Pasture: Irrigated perennial pasture systems of grass, hay, and alfalfa.
    • Home Gardens: Vegetables, flowers, and fruit trees for home consumption.
    • Non-farm Grasslands: Dryland grasslands with no recent tillage or farming practices.
    • Trees: Forests and tree farms.
