Cody Rakes of Loretto Motherhouse Farms discusses ways to protect soil and water resources by utilizing stewardship practices on the farm. When it’s time to start thinking about winter feeding, they begin by stockpiling forages in the fall. Then, they consider soil conditions when deciding how to feed hay in the winter, being mindful of potential rutting that can occur when driving equipment in a soggy field. Learn more about other stewardship practices at goodideafarm.org and by visiting your local Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service office.
