Why are you interested in the DivGrass project?
In recent years, I have sown 10 hectares with clover
grass and herbs, where I previously only used
perennial ryegrass. It brings me joy to see how the
clovers and herbs thrive. The soil life is improving,
and I use much less artificial fertilizer. I would like to
learn how we can better utilize herb grass for our
cows, allowing us to naturally produce healthy milk.
