Small Scale Grain Barley Fodder & Demonstration Day<\/strong> Stonewall Farm and agriculture education non-profit, Green Start, will demonstrate the harvesting, cleaning, and drying of barley to be used for barley fodder for Stonewall Farm\u2019s dairy cows. This will mark the first time a modern combine harvester has operated in southwestern New Hampshire!<\/p>\n Green Start will bring their brand new Boaz 2.3 combine harvester and mini-combine for a demonstration of new combine technology for small-scale farms. Alongside a cleaning and drying seed section, there will be a tour of the Farm-Tek barley fodder hydroponic system at Stonewall Farm\u2019s Horse Barn. The end result from harvesting, cleaning, and drying such seed will be to localize the production of a significant portion of feed for Stonewall\u2019s dairy herd, reducing feed and transportation costs over the long-term.<\/p>\n Contact: Matthew Young, Stonewall Farm, myoung@stonewallfarm.org, 603-357-7278<\/p>\n Flyer: http:\/\/www.youngfarmers.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/SmallScaleGrainFlyer.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n
