	Crop: Andrew's Crop Circle Language
		Part of the beauty of the subject is that crop formations combine these classical geometric ideas in new ways, just as composers combine existing notes to create new melodies.
		While working on the subject of crop formations for one of my columns for IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, I started to think of creating a symbolic shorthand notation that could capture the geometric essence of crop formations.
		Crop is a completely phenomenological language, designed to match the formations that I've looked at and tried to replicate compactly.

	Crop Circle Theories - Crystalinks
		Crop circles are areas of cereal or similar crops that have been systematically flattened to form various geometric patterns.
		Crop circle hoaxers counter that it is easy to leave dry seed pods unbroken during stomping and also leave no trace of entrance and egress trampling when the plants and ground are both dry and some care is taken while walking.
		Several crop circles, later to have been determined to be hoaxes, were at first certified as being 'genuine' by cerealogists due to the lack of seed pod breakage.

	Crop circles and their message (1)
		In authentic crop circles, the flattened plants are largely undamaged (until visitors arrive!) and tend to continue growing, whereas in hoaxed circles the stalks are generally broken, crushed and often killed.
		The centre of a swirl of crop is often marked by a bare area of soil or a ‘hole’ in the middle of a whorl of stems, and is frequently offset from the mathematical centre, sometimes by several feet.
		In one crop formation, numerous dead flies were found stuck by their tongues to the seed heads of the plants, with their legs and wings spread out widely, as if in a spasm.

	World Mysteries - The Crop Circles
		Crop circles were found on fenced off military grounds and some believe that this proves that the military is conducting tests with secret radiation weapons aimed at destroying enemy crops.
		We must assume that the crop circle producers possess the means to document their presence all over the world and to do whatever they please without being detected or hampered in their activities.
		Crop circles, those beautiful and complex patterns that are visible from the air in fields around the world, have long fascinated the public, media, and scientific community.

	III - Crop Insurance
		There are two kinds of crop insurance: crop-hail, which is provided by the private sector, and multiple peril, an all-risk coverage underwritten by the private sector and the federal government and serviced mostly by the private sector.
		The catastrophic nature of many crop related perils led to the development of two types of crop insurance: crop-hail insurance, which is provided by the private marketplace, and the multiple peril crop insurance program, which is overseen and subsidized by the federal government and sold and serviced by private insurers.
		Farmers can insure all crops in which they have a financial interest (where land is leased, the landowner as well as the farmer have financial interests in the crop yield) or just a portion of their acreage.

		Date to file notice of crop damage - after damage; the date the producer decides to discontinue caring for the crop; prior to the beginning of harvest; immediately, if farmer determines that the crop is damaged after harvest begins; or the end of the insurance period, whichever is earlier.
		In areas where an established crop policy is not available, farmers may request that their RMA Regional Office expand the program to their county the next crop year.
		Farmers are required to have documented experience in growing the crop, or in growing an agronomically similar crop, to obtain the agreement.

		The need to irrigate is usually driven by the necessity to meet the water needs of the crop from year to year (some areas of the country simply receive too little rainfall during the growing season to support economical crop growth).
		Crops have critical periods during the growing season when soil moisture must be maintained to ensure optimal yields.
		The entire surface can be flooded (most often used for crops that are sown, drilled, or seeded) or the water can be applied through furrows between the rows (for row crops).

	crop circles
		A crop "circle" is a geometric pattern, often very intricate and complex, appearing in fields, usually wheat fields and usually in England.
		Those who engage in such serious study and theorizing about crop circles are known as cerealogists (after Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility) or croppies.
		Had crop circles existed in the thirteenth century, they would have been attributed to Satan, who was said to have been responsible for many weird happenings as well as for many unweird things, such as the construction of Stonehenge and Hadrian's wall between England and Scotland.

		The different concepts on crop water management are explained and a glossary of definitions including terms in water use and water management such as: crop water requirements, crop evapotranspiration, crop water productivity, irrigation scheduling, effective rainfall, supplementary irrigation.
		Crop response to water will vary strongly from crop to crop depending on its specific genetic characteristics and adaptation to ecological conditions.
		Crop water productivity is the amount of water required per unit of yield and a vital parameter to assess the performance of irrigated and rainfed agriculture.

	California's Velcro Crop Under Challenge
		A little Velcro goes a long way, as both strains are densely packed on their respective mature plants, and the entire crop is dwarfed by other field crops, most notably cotton.
		Nonetheless, the crop is of high value and can be a substantial profit builder for the successful grower.
		Crop management for Velcro is made especially difficult by the need to outfit field workers head-to-toe in Teflon® jumpsuits.

	CHAPTER 3: CROP WATER NEEDS
		Both ET crop and ETo are expressed in the same unit: usually in mm/day (as an average for a period of one month) or in mm/month.
		The crop development stage: this period starts at the end of the initial stage and lasts until the full ground cover has been reached (ground cover 70-80%); it does not necessarily mean that the crop is at its maximum height.
		As the crop water needs depend heavily on the duration of the total growing period, the maximum value should be used in the case of a long total growing period (see also Table 6) and the minimum value should be used when the total growing period is short.

	Grazing Crop Residues, EC 98-278-B
		Several of the advantages and disadvantages of pasturing crop residue are difficult to value, including the cost of delaying field operations; the loss from removing nutrients and organic matter; and the benefit from reducing volunteer corn and getting cattle out of a confined lot.
		Due to weather variability, the rental value of crop residue grazing on a per acre basis is uncertain.
		Livestock producers renting crop residue could consider the net cost of their next best alternative (for example, supplementation on dormant pasture or feeding in drylot) as the maximum rental value of the crop residue.

	BLT Scientific Analysis Pt. 1
		In the crop formation research, soils sampled from within and outside the flattened crop areas have revealed significantly increased amounts of magnetic material mixed in with the soils; this finding, too, has been replicated in the unusual animal death cases, sometimes massively.
		In the case of crop circles, the question has been raised as to whether people—armed with planks and boards, or rollers, or simply their feet—might be responsible for the many thousands of formations reported all over the world in the past 15 years or so.
		So, real lodging—downed crop that is due to over-fertilization (which causes over-development of the seed-head and subsequent weakening of the plant stem) and subsequent weather damage—can and occasionally does occur; but this cause of randomly-downed crop is less frequent than is currently recognized.

	Cover Crops
		Cover crops can also be used to prevent erosion, conserve soil moisture, and protect water quality (by slowing erosion and runoff).
		Some cover crops need to be killed at a certain time in their life-cycle to ensure that they do not set seed and therefore become a weed problem for future years.
		Cover crops should be selected to fill a need of your production system and fit well (in time and place) in your crop rotation.
