Field Print Calculator to Assess Crop Production Impact
October 30, 2009| |
The Keystone Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture which provides collaborative leadership in industry-wide dialogue, has launched the Fieldprint Calculator. The free, online tool is designed to help U.S. corn, cotton, soybean, and wheat growers assess how crop production operations impact the sustainability of their farms. It estimates how a grower's land use, energy use, water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil loss per unit of output compares with state and national averages.
A trial version is available and feedback is encouraged. Visit http://www.fieldtomarket.org/info.php
