Reducing feed costs by improving forage production
Soils and forage specialist Dr George Fisher and organic dairy farmer Dan Burdett discuss how to reduce feed costs by improving forage production

- Soil health and fertility
- Grass and wholecrop forage quality
- Getting a handle on silage analysis in an organic system
