Della Bona Farm
This is a mixed dairy farm where soil health is addressed through the use of solid and liquid manure, improved nutrient timing, planned use of nitrification inhibitors, introduction of cover crops and a shift from ploughing to minimum tillage. The cropping system includes wheat and winter forage mixtures (feed-oriented) and maize silage (feed).
