Vision of the Future......
Recently, escalating grain prices provided us a glimpse of the future. As grain surpluses decline, we are faced with the real possibility that sooner or later it will not be feasible for livestock to be a primary consumer of grain crops. Forage crops are one of the few resources that can be converted to food while sustaining and restoring our soil, water and atmosphere. With much of our land resources in the Northeast best suited to growing perennial forage crops, we have the opportunity to produce the needed milk and protein for mankind from livestock, while maintaining a sustainable forage crop based ecosystem.
