What is multi tier cropping?
Multi-tier cropping is the simultaneous cultivation of two or more crops. In India, farmers have been known to sow as many as 15 types of crops at one time. An example of multi-tier cropping is tomatoes + onions + marigolds. Another example is the tropical multi-tier system where coconut occupies the upper tier, banana the middle tier, and pineapple, ginger or a leguminous fodder, or herbs occupy the lowest tier.
Why are tallness and profuse branching desirable traits for fodder crops?
Because the tallness enables the fodder crops to be easy to cut for hay or silage, and the profuse branching, especially with alfalfa, makes it easy for machines like the baler to pick up the swath without much waste. In some fodder crops, like in grass, profuse branching happens on a more microscopic level at ground level, making these grasses, called bunch grasses, desirable for grazing instead of for hay.

What is the importance of fodder crops to livestock?
Fodder crops are incredibly important to livestock, especially cattle. Feeding cattle and grazing them ultimately depends on the production of forage crops because these animals will not nor can not eat anything else. Cattle are herbivores and designed to eat plants that are impossible for us humans to eat, so in order for us to get beef and milk from these animals, we had--and have--to feed them according to what they can, will, and need to eat. Thus, no matter how or what cattle are fed, they all source from fodder crops.
