The red line of the presentation will be an on-farm trial
that has been conducted by Barenbrug during the year of 1999. In this trial, a Wisconsin
fanner (Dan Cramer) has renovated a part of his farm into high quality forages. During the
grazing season, records have been kept of both the renovated and the existing pastures. In
order to measure differences in milk production, the Jersey herd has been split into two
subherds. One herd was grazed on the renovated pasture and the other herd was grazed on
the existing pasture.
Very exiting data has been collected from this trial, data
that is very important and useful to know for people that are using grass in their
operation.
Barenbrug invites everyone that is
interested in grass and grassland management. Reservations are highly recommended and
appreciated.
