Why are you interested in the DivGrass project?

The reason we are participating in DivGrass project
is that we want to learn more about herb-rich
grassland, especially its forage value, palatability and
fertilization, as we have an organic dairy farm and
are therefore looking for forage that still has good
forage value and yield with little fertilization.
