I'm looking for people that have experience growing #fodder for your livestock. I'm considering building a system that can provide up to 600 lbs a day, most likely barley or wheat, for my cattle, water buffalo, pigs, chickens, ducks, & pigs. Looking for real world experience.

Look into Nick Ferguson and rareplantstore.com he's all about growing fodder trees and bushes.
I'm not sure if he's I on nostr yet.

I've bought plants from Nick and other fodder trees from other locations. Planning on doing some silvopasture with Mulberry and others. I just posted a pic of our mini Missouri Gravel beds that has held some of his trees since June 2020 . I'm looking to do the sprouted barley type system. Mold control is my biggest question along with thoughts on how to recycle the water if possible.
We work with a farm that does. Black Barn Farms in Oxdrift, Ontario. Maybe they’d be willing to help—email me at 807foodcoop@gmail.com and I’ll connect you or go through their site to contact them. 
Yup, that's the type of fodder system I'm looking to build. If they are willing to let me know if they would do it again, that's one of my biggest questions. I know it's a big time commitment but with the cost of hay and diesel I don't think it's going to go down for a while. Plus my hypothesis is that the livestock will be gentler and have a lighter impact on my existing pastures if they are getting enough from the fodder.
