Kura Clover across this field. Three area farmers’ fields are the other replica ons of each of three cropping systems with six acre plots. The first cropping system is the typical best management prac ces of a corn-soybean rota on. The second cropping system takes the corn-soybean rota on and adds Camelina to the rota on during the second year for a double crop. In order to achieve this, the corn was taken off for silage and u lized by an area dairy farmer. Then Camelina was no- ll drilled into the corn stubble. Soybeans will be no- ll drilled into the camelina next spring. Both crops

LCCMR Crop System Study This was the first year of this three year study. Collabora ons for this project include the University of Minnesota, Agricultural U liza on Research Ins tute (AURI) ,and the Morris USDA. The goal of this study is to determine how three different cropping systems affect water quality. There are four different site loca ons for this study. The primary loca on is at the Center. This plot is 18 acres in size located under the Landco pivot. The three different cropping systems are replicated four mes NDSU Dry Bean Research Provita Large Strip Trial Renk Seed Company assess hybr
