From one organic dairyman's perspective, it all begins with the health of the soil. As Jon Bansen explains in this short video, by relying upon the manure from his cows, along with some additional inputs, he is able to keep his soil healthy, and by doing so, produce nutritious grass that his jersey cows depend upon much of the year for their food. For Bansen, healthy soil ultimately translates into tastier, and more nutritious milk.
