Description:
Cereal grains can provide organic dairy farms with an early season crop to graze and harvest for forage as well as extend the grazing season into late fall and early winter. They can be grown for grazing, stored forage, grain and straw. Learn how to integrate small grains--including wheat, barley, oats, triticale, spelt, and rye--into your organic dairy farm. Heather Darby, University of Vermont Extension, will share results of her on-farm research as well as practical ideas on how to get the most out of home-grown feeds.
