To introduce the general principal of field crop production. Provide knowledge base of world,
USA and Idaho crops production methods, crop rotations, and sustainable and
environmentally sound agricultural systems. Overview the impacts of world and local
agricultural. Provide a basic knowledge of the processes by which our major food and non-
food agricultural crops are produced.
