Jerseys are great cows to milk, especially udders like these

It’s official: we make a better cheddar! This week we won 1st place for our Marble Cheddar at the prestigious World Championship Cheese Contest in Madison, Wisconsin. Two Bothwell Non-GMO Cheddars were also awarded with 2nd and 3rd place wins.

5 day emergence on Wheat and Red Clover treated with @ecotea_tm dry treatment.

Fall Rye looking promising for silage harvest in two weeks and still enough time to reseed with a 14 species blend of #covercrops for more high protein fall silage

The chopper is having a workout with this full season #covercrop blend. This mix is custom tailored for the dairy's feed goals, moisture availability, tillage practices, etc. Half of corn's seed cost, less than half fertilizer, double the protein, and regrowth potential. Why not?

6 species blend seeded Jun 22, majority sorghum Sudan and Japanese Millet. Great growth on minimal rain!

#fallrye survived the winter, hopefully the next few weeks allow it to keep going. #livingroot

#fallrye looking great, will see how it comes out from under a blanket of #springstorm #snow this week

Took the time for a fun afternoon of soil digging, moisture probing, compaction probing and temp readings with Jan Nijhof. Reassurance that were on the right path with #regenerativeagriculture

Clover from last year's cocktail blend survived the winter and is showing off a tremendous root system. These years of moisture deficiency have taught us diversity in blends is key

Beautiful night to be milking cows. Next group eagerly waiting to be let into the parlor. #jersey #outdoordairy #toplesscubicles

#Masterschoice corn handling the heatwave well today

Considering these pole beans had a very slow and competitive start, we finally start to see them stretching out and climbing. #farmweird #notjustinyourgardenanymore

Tillering #mastergraze corn after rye silage, harvest in 3.5 weeks, maybe oats and stocker cattle for the winter? #fencingpays

Watching this video probably smells better than making this video. 2nd turn, hoping there is enough moisture to start the process, although already seeing lots of fungi growing on the straw

Multi species blend of leftover 2021 seeds. 70 acres of alfalfa, grasses, clovers, pollinators, forbs, legumes and brassicas. How is there enough water to grow such a #polycrop when there isn't enough water to finish a #monocrop? Millions of insects but not one is biting me.

Great day for fertilizer on the triticale, feels good to be back in the field again after a long winter!

Second cut alfalfa, 3 weeks since last cutting, being fed directly to the milk cows to decrease purchased feed costs

3 th cutting alfalfa today , this field was cut July 8 for second cut and first cut was on June 17 , great alfalfa production this year.
