Bogaards Farm Shows Deep Interest in Red Clover and Dairy Output
On the Bogaards farm red clover thrives on lighter soils and a 47 acre stand is planned this year while alfalfa struggles to establish. The farm runs twelve dairy cows and nine cattle, with seven black cattle from an Angus bull, and dairying supports steady income via a cooperative creamery. Sheep have thrived for 20 years, especially in open conditions, and Minorca chickens provide good egg production.
