Content Source: Purdue University

Resource Explained

This article, produced by Purdue University, compares the long-run net returns of a conventional corn/soybean crop rotation to an organic forage-based crop rotation that includes corn, soybeans, oats, and three years of alfalfa. Ten-year enterprise budgets for each crop rotation were developed to capture the net returns of both the transition years and organic production years for the organic crop rotation.
