Webinar: Stockpiling Forages to Extend the Grazing Season on Your Organic Dairy
eOrganic author:Laura Paine, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection Introduction: Winter feed is a livestock farmer's biggest expense. Extending the grazing season using stockpiling can cut those costs by 20% or more. Stockpiling forage is a practice that allows pastures to grow for use at a later time, typically to extend the grazing season into the early winter months. In this webinar, Laura Paine will describe how best to stockpile forages, including forage species that do well under this practice, when to start stockpiling, and other management considerations.
