Ruozzi farm

This is a forage-oriented mixed farm already managed under no tillage, with residues left on the field and both organic and chemical fertilisation. Soil-health work is based on maintaining reduced disturbance in both cropland and grassland conditions. The main crop under the current DS is alfalfa (feed), within a broader forage rotation linked to livestock farming.
