Farming Toward The Future: Veteran grazier slowly turns farm over to younger partner

摘要

It is a cloudless early morning and Scott Foerg, Logansport, IN, has yet another farm reporter tagging along as he heads out to work. "IH just pull a poly," he explains as he walks across the pasture to wind up a strand of fencing separating hungry heifers from a fresh break of alfalfa-orchardgrass. "I'm not very photogenic, but the cows are," he adds, grinning shyly at the reporter's camera as those heifers run wildly behind him toward the new section. 'They're as happy as they can be." Foerg seemspretty happy himself. He's 36 years old and partners in a successful dairy with none other than grazing guru and media favorite Dave Forgey.
