Pigs Love Demolishing One Cover Crop and Planting Another

This video shows how our Mangalitsa pigs demolished our summer cover crop in 10 days. It also shows how we reseeded the paddock with oats, cereal rye, wheat, mustards, and clover for a fall or winter forage crop.

1-1.5 Pounds of Cherokee Clover (2-3 Pounds per acre)
