Our mid-congress tour group at @IGC2023
A wonderful tour of ruminant agriculture in Dubois County in southwestern Indiana - Dairy, beef, goats and sheep. And more goats!

Leaving the Midwest Section ASAS meeting, I seemed appropriate to post my presentation at the Southern Section in January.
We need a Ruminant Revolution! The young scientists I meet at these meetings will help us get there! @CritterChatter @BarenbrugUSA https://t.co/wp208x4eU8

Good morning, Madison.

While marginal land isn't suitable for crop production, it makes up 2/3 of all agricultural land. Cattle & other ruminants are able to digest otherwise indigestible grasses that grow here & are unfit for human consumption. 🐄

I got to accompany Barenbrug USA's President, James Schneider, & address the Foundations of Agriculture class at Corban Univ this week. I tried to give the students reasons to be excited about forage agriculture & humanity's future.

I told the “out of state” neighbors if they built a pole fence I would be drifted in every winter.
Them: “No, it won’t cause drifting.“

Frost-seeding clovers into your existing pasture is a great tool to bring new life to your pastures in the form of nitrogen. ❄️🌱
