SURPRISES in the Orchards, Raised Beds, Cattle, and Goats, What A Spring!

Record Cherry Harvest, what's the best type of cherry? What to expect from your raised bed in May. What do goats eat to stay healthy and how to manage them? How important is it to rotate cattle and are youe livestock beneficial to your land?

The most common mistake i see on land management is that your woods are too thick and your fields are way to open.
If you can get trees into your grasslands and open your woods youll be able to do simultaneous mob species grazing all unde the same herd. Cows goats pigs and chickens together. Getting rid of your tractor will do wonders for farm efficiency

Love this concept! A lot of people here recommend controlled burns in the forest, which I have mixed feelings about. I am a big fan of mob grazing but haven't tried incorporating pigs.

@@HomesteadRanger controlled burns should broaden the diversity of your plant species and some what stimulate a suite of successional plant communities. Biodiversity in plant species leads to a more biodiverse and healthier soil
