Better for You by David http://friendofthefarmer.com/2010/06/grass-feed-cows-better-milk-better-meat/comment-page-1/#comment-1473 David Sun, 20 Jun 2010 14:46:16 +0000 http://friendofthefarmer.com/?p=2034#comment-1473 Thank you! Land is the key. Recently I talked to a young couple just starting out in dairy. As you may know a farner needs an acre per cow. With 60 head and only seven acres the couple has to spread her herd all over Litchfield County. In addition to tax breaks the landowners they work with get additional value. They maintain fences on the land their cattle graze on and the grass that would normally be mowed gets a nice trim. Thank you! Land is the key.

So happy you mentioned land leasing. More should be made of land lease arrangements. Great for the land owners and also might be a way of getting more young farmers started. Can not wait to hear more about the CLA's in meat and milk! Hopefully even more studies will come out! Wonderful post! So happy you mentioned land leasing.

]]> Comment on Why Are Silos Round? Thank a King for the Answer. by cara http://friendofthefarmer.com/2010/06/why-are-silos-round/comment-page-1/#comment-1429 cara Sun, 13 Jun 2010 22:59:13 +0000 http://friendofthefarmer.com/?p=2044#comment-1429 Fascinating. Never knew the reasons behind silo design (never thought about it, frankly, but now that you mention it, it's brilliant!) Love old barns, too. Fascinating.
