Eden Shale Farm Update - July 2019

8/6/2019

Our renovated hay ground in the bottom yielded some excellent hay consisting of 60% alfalfa, 30% orchard grass, and 10% novel endophyte fescue.

This BarOptima renovated hay field always produces a quality crop of hay.

This 30 acre bottom produced 108 roll bales, which is 3.6 bales per acre.

We filled the first hoop barn with 216 rolls and then started filling the second, larger hoop barn.

We have started the renovation at the bull burn, which will include new flooring, pens, water troughs, and hay feeders.

Welcome

Hello, my name is Dan Miller and I work for the Kentucky Beef Network. KBN took over operation of the Eden Shale Farm in April of 2013. We are using the 961 acre farm as a demonstration and learning center for beef cattle producers. This blog serves as a place to document daily farm activity and host discussions about the demonstrations being implemented. I hope you find this information useful and that you come visit us at Eden Shale Farm.
