Pasti farm
This is a large mixed arable-beef farm where soil-health work combines organic and synthetic fertilisation, residue retention, cover crops, crop rotation improvement and the coexistence of tilled and no-till management. The site is useful to observe transitions in a large-scale commercial setting. The crops include soybean (food/feed), maize (mainly feed) and barley (food/feed), all in a livestock-linked context.
