I’ve been grazing the bottom strip of this vineyard repeatedly and properly over the last few years because it was logistically easy to do so. The older vines in the background didn’t get grazed for a number of reasons.
Look at the difference in the forage.
I wanted to share to illustrate how ruminant animals are a powerful tool for…

Reply to Which form of foliar calcium to use?
Hey Eric,
Good question.
There are a few good liquid calcium products on the market from companies like cropping solutions and sustainable farming solutions, but they are expensive.

I was also feeding hay until just a couple of days ago, had a small problem with scours with a couple of the mob but now resolved.

Reply to Biochar - Black Gold?

This could be a good practice to try in the poor…

How’s this for growth.
This is the area where I left a cover crop to go to seed last year for stockpiled dry summer feed.
