Crop production and the yield gap

U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action has introduced a groundbreaking report, “Potential for U.S. Agriculture to be Greenhouse Gas Negative.” In this episode, we dive deeper into one of the key areas of opportunity outlined in the report — the crop production yield gap. Join Farm+Food+Facts host Joanna Guza and Dr. Romulo Lollato, associate professor of agronomy, Extension wheat and forage specialist at Kansas State University, as they discuss the difference between actual crop yield and the potential yield that could be achieved under optimal conditions using the best practices, technology and inputs. They explore how narrowing this gap can help mitigate emissions.    To stay connected with USFRA, join our newsletter and become involved in our efforts, here.
