Fresh forage in the middle of winter? Fodder systems make it possible. From a basement setup at Titan Ranch to a larger cattle-feeding system at Warrior Rizen Ranch, Alberta producers are experimenting with sprouted grain as a supplement to winter rations.

Welcome Jessica back into her new role as Assistant Manager at Farming Forward.

Good soil tests start with good sampling. In this article and video, we show how to take and prepare a soil sample using a Dutch auger, from clearing plant residue and pulling cores to mixing and preparing the final sample for the lab. Farming Forward members can rent a Dutch auger for free, get help submitting samples, and receive discounted soil test rates — plus, our new soil sampling truck will be ready soon.
