We CAN create great pastures!
Sunlight is inexhaustible and free. We can capture sunlight in forages. And with well-managed forages, we can create sustainable, beautiful pastures, feed our animals, sequester carbon, improve the soil, and provide food and fiber for the world.
This book - a companion to my Book 1 - describes additional tools and solid information for the art and science of forage and pasture management.
Lots of good information in these chapters.
Pasture walks and grazing strategies, including mob grazing. Guidelines for choosing the best forages. Chapters on different forage species, toxic plants, unusual plants that accumulate metals, endophytes, soil fungi like the mycorrhizae. Chapters on practical challenges like legume bloat and acidosis. And biological nightmares like toxic mushrooms, poison hemlock, and green-blue algae.
And some other interesting things: How do the Salem witch trials give us a warning about no-till farming? What does the supermarket term "dietary fiber" actually mean? Can farmers really use garlic to reduce methane?
See how a great pasture is like dancing in the sunlight.
Who is this book for?
Farmers, ranchers, farm advisors, Extension Agents, professors, government personnel.Owners of cattle, sheep, goats, horses, bison, and any other grazing animals.Students of all flavors - college, high school, adult education, avidly curious folks everywhere - who thirst for interesting background information.Teachers can use this book as an excellent secondary reading.Anyone, anywhere, interested in forages, pastures, plants, grazing, or sustainable agriculture.
This book - composed of short chapters, sometimes with humor, always with good information -
is a true pleasure to read.
