What happens here
The farmer details how hay bales, containing grass seeds, are unrolled across the pasture for cattle to graze, contributing to regenerative farming. The uneaten hay provides a blanket for the land, holding moisture and heat, and allowing the seeds within the hay to germinate. The cows also ingest seeds, which are then spread through their manure. The ATV is equipped with a new Buyers ATV Spreader system, which includes a cover for protection.
Goal: Use hay bales and cattle to naturally seed pastures and fertilize the soil.
