harvest, dry, process...and analyse

August has been all about herb quality throughout the paddocks. More specifically, the nutrient and fiber content of both graminoids and forbs, as well as some shrubs. With this we're exploring the quality of forage available to livestock in open pastures and pine-oak forests. Half the samples are already in the lab, the other just arrived fresh from the field and is being processed.
