Dairy - Stokman Farm, Holland
Resources
The farm has an area of 15 hectares which it allows to be grazed by migratory wild geese over the winter period. This important habitat provides a much needed feeding zone for these birds. In return for this grazing habitat the farm receives an area payment as compensation for the lost grass production, which is in the region of 335-1,100kg DM/Ha for first cut silage or early grazing, although there are no yield losses after first cut.
