Abstract

The sustainable agriculture technology followed by South Dakota farmers is characterized by very limited use of synthetic chemical inputs (fertilizers, pesticides); a fundamental emphasis on crop rotations to control weeds, insects, and diseases; and the use of "organic" markets to enhance returns from selling part of farmers' sustainably-produced grains.
