About Grass
From our early childhoods, we instinctively come to think of grass in happy, positive terms: grass surfaces can be platforms for children’s games, summer parties or escapes away from urban landscapes. In every season, grass will offer nature’s pleasures to people around the world, and the beauty of Mother Earth – grass-covered lawns, hillsides and prairies will also help prevent erosion by keeping soil in place with their root systems.
But grass is much more than “nice to have”, an attractive addition to your back garden – it is the world’s most important crop. From an agricultural perspective, grass is crucial to helping feed the world’s growing population of humans and animals. With roughly 20% of the world’s vegetation being made up of grass, this crop is pretty important to keep everything turning the way it should – and making the world a “green” place.

Agronomy Crops:
Agronomy Crops
Agronomy is the application of plant and soil science to crop production. As a science it considers how to grow crops effectively and profitably while conserving natural resources and protecting the environment. Agronomy emphasizes staple food crops, such as maize, beans, wheat and oil seeds like canola which are produced on a large scale and represent the foundation of our human food supply.
Forage plants and hay crops are also considered agronomic crops and are the feed base for the ruminant livestock industry on pastures and
rangeland.

Cover Crops are an important and useful tool to combat issues such as soil erosion, nutrient runoff and moisture conservation. Multiple species are used for cover cropping including brassicas, legumes, cereals and grasses. Recently there has been an increasing movement toward grazing cover crops as part of the rotation.
