Abstract
The production of perennial forage crops has a vital role to play in diversifying the agricultural economy of the prairies and maintaining the productivity of the soil. Most farms in the Aspen Parklands of Western Canada (Fig. 1) would benefit considerably if more forage was included in the cropping program. This is especially true for land that is difficult to work. or that regularly experiences spring flooding, a short frost-free period or serious soil erosion. There are also advantages in growing forage crops on land suitable for the production of annual crops.
