We have been doing research over the past couple weeks on different grasses and their silage nutritional value. Using a combo of books, google, and university experts we're getting excited about incorporating sorghum sudangrass. Other fun options include... believe it or not... sunflowers! Still doing our homework on what polyculture system will work best for our climate, cattle nutrition, and overall program but always fun to try to push the envelope on regenerative agriculture practices.

Ace never wants to be left behind, even if that means a full day in a tractor cab.
