In a SARE-funded study in New York, a cooperative team of farmers, researchers and consultants addressed these constraints in dairy farm rotations by developing an alternative forage cropping system with multiple options to produce high-quality forages. This fact sheet explains implementing the Alternative Continuous-Cover Forage (ACCF) system to produce high-quality dairy cattle forage with yields comparable to traditional cropping system.
