Abstract
The Flex Acreage Provisions of the Food, Agricultural and Trade Act of 1990 have increased the potential for farm managers to use resource-conserving crop rotations. The use of a resource-conserving crop, alfalfa, in rotation with government commodity program crops, wheat and grain sorghum, is evaluated by comparing potential net returns for a central Kansas family farm. Comparisons of net returns and sensitivity analysis indicate that growing alfalfa on flex acres in rotation with wheat or grain sorghum, although not the profit maximizing strategy, is economically feasible.
