Crop and livestock integration

( 2026 )

Summary

Crop and livestock production are both important parts of Minnesota’s agricultural economy. Crop producers add fertilizer inputs to their fields to ensure proper plant growth so they can make a profit from their crop. Livestock producers manage their operations to ensure their livestock have adequate food and living conditions throughout the year. This may include the purchasing of additional feed resources at the end of a season. To achieve benefits for both types of operation, livestock can be integrated into cropping systems.
