Farmer's innovative grassland cultivation for sustainable dairy farming

Mr. Kokociński enhances his dairy farm by renting underused grasslands from inactive farmers. He uses innovative sowing techniques, combining grasses and legumes at specific rates—25 kg/ha for grasses and 17 kg/ha for legumes—sown perpendicularly to create a uniform, high-proportion (40–50%) legume sward. This method supports sustainable, high-quality forage production without prioritising maximum milk yield. Results are positive, but low milk prices remain a key economic challenge, driving his focus on cost reduction and farm scaling.
