Systems Analysis in Forage Crops Production and Utilization

The interrelations of livestock production; growing, grazing, or harvesting and feeding forages; and the overall cost-price-return factors have long been recognized by those interested in forages. The complexity of the problems and the departmentalization of agricultural research have often resulted in limiting cooperative studies. Now, however, increasing demands for livestock products and spiraling costs are forcing greater multidisciplinary research. The need for such an approach has led to an interest in systems analysis in forage crops production and livestock utilization. In response to this interest, the Crop Science Society of America, in cooperation with the American Agricultural Economics Association and the American Forage and Grassland Council, held a symposium at the Crop Science Society of America Annual Meeting Nov. 13, 1973, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Papers given at that symposium are presented in this special CSSA publication.
