In a cooperation between organic advice, practical businesses and the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein Organic Institute, a current pasture information film for farmers, advice and teaching was completed.
The film “Grass yourself fit – implement pasture successfully” shows the diversity of pasture farming in Austria. It builds on current results from research and advice and supports successful pasture implementation.
“Gras dich fit” answers questions about, among other things:
• What is the ideal plant population?
• How is the area properly fertilized and cared for?
• Which grazing strategy suits my business?
In addition to the many advantages, the challenges of pasture farming are also addressed, such as measures to prevent pasture parasites and flatulence.
The latest results from pasture research, advice and cattle farming practice combined in one standard work.
