Sorghum Sudangrass

Doesn’t just roll off the tongue does it?  This is a new crossbred sorghum/sudan that has some really cool traits: low growing point, high digestibility, super quick regrowth. So, this is the leading candidate for the grass we plant after we harvest ryegrass in late May. We can plant it June 1 and start grazing by July 4. Then continually rotate the cattle onto new swaths and have very high energy grass for them to eat through early October. We are going to experiment with this type of grass as a replacement for corn silage to maintain marbling. Should be really interesting…. at least to me.

The Importance of Dry Dams on the Farm

Monday, we received 4.4 inches of rain, most of it overnight as heavy storms moved through. By Tuesday, I checked our dry dams to make sure everything was holding. The result was simple but telling- very little water had collected.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Parmesan Polenta and Roasted Carrots Recipe

Few dishes capture comfort like braised short ribs. The aroma of slow-cooked beef, rich sauce, and creamy polenta creates that unmistakable feeling of a meal worth slowing down for. For this version, I used Fischer Farms bone-in short ribs- a mix of one single-bone and one double-bone cut- to showcase the versatility Fischer Farms offers chefs and home cooks alike.
