COLLECTION: Regenerative winter grazing innovations
Kiwi farmers have been leading the development of nature-based solutions to winter grazing challenges. Learn why, how and what they’re doing!
Bale grazing – an alternative to winter crops
Bale Grazing is a wintering system where hay bales are spaced across the paddock, with stock grazing breaks of hay and pasture throughout the winter.
Bale grazing – cost comparison
Bale Grazing is a wintering system where hay bales are spaced across the paddock, with stock grazing breaks of hay and pasture throughout the winter.
