PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

We are very fortunate to be surrounded by breathtaking flora and fauna. And, the interaction between farms and nature has been developed in a positive way. 

Sector-wide, we have learned from science. For instance, university studies have shown reducing fertilizer or protein levels in cow rations have a positive impact on cow health and performance. 

Farming in harmony with nature is key. It’s about using our resources but not abusing them. To name a few of our practices, we protect waterways by having good and sufficient manure storage, we apply manure carefully, we time our spring activities to protect birds’ nest, engage in minimum tillage, utilize cover crops and more. This is all completed in close consultation with a conservationist and biologist.
