A plot exchange to maintain a grazing system despite the increase in herd size: Video
Maximizing pasture access: a dairy farmer's journey
Detail description
Florian, who settled with his father in 2018, discusses their transition to a grazing system for their dairy cows.
Following his installation, he secured an exchange of land with a neighbor to maximize pasture access for their 80 dairy cows. The exchange facilitated better herd management while reducing feed costs and increasing pasture utilization.
Florian highlights the importance of collaborating with fellow farmers to optimize resources in a sustainable manner.
