Silage From Intercropping Of Maize With Common Beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris) As Roughage For Fattening Pigs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Maize silage is a high-energy roughage that can be fed to fattening pigs to provide both employment and additional nutrients. Intercropping of maize with common beans was tested to produce a roughage higher in protein, but was still found to contain ...

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...
