This grazing series chat is with Norm Ward, Norm shares his passion for intensive roational grazing and how it lead to the development of the original Range Ward products, he shares some of his early lessons learnt, why electric fencing does neither have to be intimidating nor frustrating and some of his key tips on how to make your transition to electric fencing more easeful. This episode was recorded a while back and Norm has since sold his Range Ward business but still has lots of valuable experiences to share when it comes to intensive rotational grazing.

This grazing series chat is with Dr Nitya kanal, a forage researcher with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada based out of the Beaverlodge research farm. We talk about the potential of fodder galega or goat’s rue as a forage legume. It fixes a lot of nitrogen, tolerates acidic soils, has good winter survival rates, and overall just sounds like it is one of those plants which sounds almost too good to be true.. so why do we not see it on the market yet. Listen in and find out.
