Webinar: Introducing Radishes into the Organic Pasture

Content Source: eOrganic

Resource Explained

Join Fay Benson, project manager of New York's Organic Dairy Initiative, for a discussion about incorporating radishes and brassicas into organic pastures. Radishes can provide two benefits to the organic dairy pasture: 1) to extend the grazing season with a high energy feedstock, and 2) to provide “bio-drills” by utilizing the tap roots of these plants to address soil compaction.
