biomass - forage harvest

Now that grass and other plants have started to emerge and grow with the rains, cows are back in the field feasting on available forage. We started to quantify how much that actually amounts to in terms of graminoids and forbes. We just carried out a first harvest (21-23 July), simulating how cows regularly feed in the paddocks, and are currently busy drying and weighing the biomass samples back in Ecosur.
