northern real farming conference
As part of the Northern Real Farming Conference, we ran a session discussing cow-with-calf dairying. The session included farmers running this type of system, as well as researchers studying it.
We aimed to capture cow-with-calf dairying from a farmer perspective, as well as discussing a research project run at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and data collected from farmer interviews as part of the current project:
