What happens here
With hay bales strategically placed, the farmer opens an electric fence gate for the cattle. He uses a specialized 'Greg Judy Bale Unroller' towed by an ATV to unroll a hay bale across a nutrient-deficient area of the pasture. The unroller spreads the hay evenly, allowing cows to graze and spread nutrients, which also introduces a diverse seed bank to improve soil quality and grass growth. He plans to continue unrolling bales in different areas to address poor soils.
Goal: Improve pasture soil health and provide feed by unrolling hay bales.
