Ban Glyphosate—Does It Affect the Swedish Farmers' Willingness to Grow Cover Crops?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cultivation of cover crops is one of the new Eco‐scheme practices introduced in Sweden. This study examines how the design of policy attributes of these schemes influences farmers' willingness to grow cover crops on arable land, with particular focus on the potential impact of a glyphosate ban.

Optimizing rotational grazing in sheep management systems
Environment International, 1999 Abstract Rotational grazing on sheep farms was modeled using an iconic simulation modeling package. An event-driven modeling approach allowed the simulation of individual paddocks on a farm and their grazing. It permitted the effects of different levels of herbage allowance to be tested and measured with respect to pre- and post-grazing herbage mass,

Herbage volume per animal: A tool for rotational grazing management [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 2000 The objective of this study was to provide a tool for maintaining a high grazing efficiency. In a rotational grazing system, the residual sward height does not provide enough information in advance to make the recommendation. The grazing management of 4 commercial dairy farms which differed greatly in their stocking rate, was monitored over 3 spring ...

Milk from forage on organic dairy farms [PDF]
, 2013 Milk from forage (MFF) has been used as an indicator of dairy enterprise performance since the 1970s. There is considerable evidence associating MFF with good economic performance. ORC researcher Katharine Leach and intern Gaëlle Feur have been looking

Grassland management and helminth control on cattle farms [PDF]
, 2017 Farmers manage their pastures and grazing animals primarily to ensure that swards provide adequate, quality nutrients to support animal performance, but it is also possible to provide useful levels of parasite control without compromising production.

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023 Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

, 2018 Grazing is the action whereby livestock feeds freely on a pasture. There are several ways of managing livestock grazing and feeding, but the main distinction that can be made is between continuous and rotational grazing. Rotational grazing consists of dividing the pastures into smaller paddocks and establishing a rotation over the paddocks.

Distribution and use of grasslands in the Czech Republic and biodiversity of invertebrates [PDF]
, 2008 In the Czech Republic the major focus of organic farming lies in permanent grasslands management. Animal production is mostly focused on non-milk pasture beef-raising on almost the whole farm area. By contrast conventional farms do not grass sufficiently,
