Machinery, fertilizer, seeds, irrigation—life can be so easy.
We’ve got everything under control. Or do we?
With this book, the author aims to provide everyone who cares about healthy pasture-based grazing with arguments, draw on traditional knowledge, and incorporate new research.
Shrubs are as much a part of pasture management as butter is to a buttered roll. Horses are grass eaters, yes. But in the foliage they find their mineral supplements, their natural pharmacy, protection from the elements, and privacy for resting areas, while in the shrubs, insectivores grow to help eliminate their parasites.
A healthy farm—including a healthy horse-keeping facility—is not an investment but rather something like a living organism. It must be cared for and needs its vital organs if it is not to wither and die. Wooded areas are an indispensable part of farms and their grazing systems.
It is high time to plant trees and shrubs!
