Building and Using a Fodder System: Growing Fresh Green Fodder for your Animals

by Deborah Wells, David C. Wells (Photographer)

As drought, rising land prices and bad weather reduces farmland, the small grower faces ever rising prices for feed. By growing our own food for livestock, we take back a little more control over what we eat, the quality of what we eat and the source of the forage that we feed our livestock.

This good explains what a fodder system is, why it works, how to make one and how to buy one should you choose to do that.

Mold is by far the biggest hurdle in growing fodder and this book will help you overcome that enormous problem.

The entire book is based on actual experience. It gives the details of what a fodder system will cost to buy or to create and what the operation costs are both in dollar amounts and in labor.

If you are even thinking about a fodder system or simply want to learn more about them, you need this book.

Useful, easy to understand

The information contained in this booklet is a good start to growing your own fodder. I was a little distracted by need for editing, but still found it to be valuable information.
