Abstract

This study has the objective of comparing and contrasting quantity, quality, and profitability of alfalfa with respect to various management practices under various soil types and examining the response of input and output price changes to returns. Yield and quality results were simulated using Integrated Farm System Model (IFSM) and a mathematical programming model that maximizes net returns was developed. The results indicate that the alfalfa management production practice with no irrigation performed the best. This study generates agronomic as well as economic data that shows the potential to facilitate efficient forage production in a farm system.
