Conservation farming turns worn pasture into productive alfalfa fields
Mark Greider, named Conservation Farmer of the Year, credits contour farming and soil testing for turning 120 acres of worn hillside pasture into a multi- crop system. He runs 75 dairy cattle, milks 50, and produced 50 tons of alfalfa after three silos were filled, with improvements reducing runoff and preserving soil for future harvests.
