Have you done any compaction testing in your rows? I try to get a lot of diversity on, but it seems like equipment passes has an outstanding impact over and above whatever might be growing. It was only when I started limiting traffic in the field with heavy equipment that I saw improvement. I’d be super interested to have a conversation…

I had 5 heifers die of acorn posining. Something I had never heard about before… sad and expensive mistake.
How are the tanic acid levels of chestnuts? -
