Dairy farms Down Under put forage first

摘要

GRASS comes first and livestock second: That summarizes New Zealand dairy farms, says Rob Kallenbach, University of Missouri Extension forage specialist who recently participated in a dairy tour of the country. "It's not that they are bad livestock managers; they just know they must market grass as a livestock product. It is all about, 'How much grass can I grow?' More grass means more milk," he explains.
