"I like to say that when you buy an acre of land you get 43,500
square feet of solar panel. When you start thinking about your farm
in these terms, the importance of having every acre covered with
green, growing grass becomes apparent," Jim Gerrish writes. Gerrish
coined the phrase Management-intensive Grazing (MiG), putting the
emphasis on management of the growth of the grass. The animals are
merely harvesters, like lawnmowers. In Management-intensive
Grazing, The Grassroots of Grass Farming, he uses vivid images and
detailed explanations to take graziers step-by-step through the MiG
system. Written for those new to MiG grazing, Gerrish's insights
and personal experience can help experienced graziers fine tune
their grazing operations for added income. He begins from the
ground up with the soil and advances through the management of
pastures and animals, and covers how to manage the water cycle; how
to work with legumes; how to stockpile forages for low cost
wintering; how to plan and utilize permanent and perimeter fencing;
and how to use pasture weaning for health and weight gain.
Gerrish's lively chapters explain how to make pasture fertility
pay; the power of stock density; how to match forage supply with
animal demand; how to judge maximum intake of forage; and how using
pasture records offers information, not just data.
