Cover Crops & No-Till in Sacrifice Bale Grazing Area
In this video, Wisconsin grower Leslie Svacina, shares how she used a cover crop in her winter-spring sacrifice area where she feeds goats and sheep round bales. For the project she used a Kasco Manufacturing 8758 no-till drill to plant a custom mix of turnips, brassicas, sugar beets and radishes. Late in the season she grazed it with her goats and sheep. Note: this footage is archived from August-November 2023.
