Dairy seemed like it had these really great,
deep roots and I just really wanted to be
a part of that.
We started in 2011.
We’ve always been committed to grass based
dairy, so we are rotating our cows every twelve
hours.
I’m trying to build a system that is sustainable
for future generations.
We are really lucky there’s these programs
available for farmers to help make the better
choices.
We worked with NRCS and built a water storage
pit to store the water from the milk house
waste and runoff.
We are able to use that water to really get
more production out of a smaller land base.
We are stopping all the surface water from
getting into our manure.
It kinda cuts the amount of manure we have
to spread in half.
The waste water work we have done on the farm
since we bought it has doubled the price we
paid for the land.
We made that commitment knowing that it was
going to pay off.
Making our lives better, the farm more viable
and hopefully creating a better future.
