This 2nd edition, revised and updated by Jim Gerrish, provides a comprehensive guide to creation and utilization of intensively managed quality pastures for profitable and regenerative grass farming.
Gerrish offers down-to-earth, low cost tactics to create high-energy pasture that will reduce or eliminate expensive inputs or purchased feeds for year-round grazing, such as wet weather tips, how to create a drought management plan, matching livestock to climate, and how to extend the grazing season during winter and summer slumps.
New chapters cover:
• What constitutes quality pasture and how to create it
• Forage testing - why it's important and how to take samples
• Pasture irrigation
• Grass-based dairying
• And so much more!
