FTC Episode 388: Does Wireless Fencing Change the Opportunities for Beef & Crop Farmers?

from Farming the Countryside with Andrew McCrea · host Farm Journal

Wireless fencing is technology being adopted by some farmers and it could make rotational grazing an option for more people since it lowers the amount labor needed to move electric fences. This week I visit with a farmer who is not only rotationally grazing his cows and calves, but he’s also using it as an opportunity to better utilize crop residue and use some unique intercropping systems in his Illinois corn fields. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
