crop waste
Stalks after harvest
Crop waste is the plant material left over after harvesting—stalks, leaves, husks, and roots that remain in fields or accumulate during processing.
Farmers may plow it back into soil as organic matter, burn it, or bale it for animal bedding and feed.
The county banned open burning of crop waste.
