Community pastures across Ontario have been a
solution to a problem of too little land for some beef
producers, but they provide other solutions as well.
Experiments on the farms not only solve problems
for the farms themselves, but provide the answers to
some other farm problems.

THE MAGAZINE OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY
Alfalfa is recognized as a
real soil builder and is an
important part of a crop
rotation, but what do you do
with the alfalfa if you're a
cash crop farmer with no
cattle to feed it to? For
some farmers in Bruce
County the solution has
been the Canadian Agra
Cubing Plant. This year
13,000 acres of land will
produce alfalfa to feed the
plant's demands. Go behind
the scenes at the plant and
see how hay becomes
handy, bite -sized cubes.
