Campaign for Better Silage is a new initiative offering advice to dairy farmers on how to navigate the inevitable grassland challenges 2023 will bring, as well as best practice guidance to ensure maximum production on every farm.
If you’ve ever stood at the feed fence and thought, “This looks different today” or “Are the cows sorting this?” — the Penn State 3-tray shaker box is one of the quickest, simplest tools you can use to get a straight answer.
