Objectives

The overall objective is to develop environmentally sustainable and economically feasible crop and livestock systems that will assure the viability of agricultural activities in the Texas High Plains.

Specific Objectives include:

bulletTo compare productivity, profitability, and impact on natural resources of continuous cotton systems, all forage-livestock systems, and an integrated cotton-forage/livestock system.
bulletTo involve local producers and industry in identifying researchable needs, in developing and testing systems of production, in the development of more effective dissemination of information to end users, and enhanced adoption of new technologies.
bulletTo link this research with sustainable systems research in other ecoregions to increase the base of knowledge and understanding of the principles that apply to integrated systems.
