| South Glanton Farms is mixed farm just north of Forrest, Manitoba. The farm is a third generation family farm including Ryan and Sarah Boyd, their daughter Piper and son Bingham, and Jim and Joanne Boyd. | ||
|
Our family has a long history of farming and conservation. We are focused on embracing the principles of agroecology to create an extremely diverse and resilient farming system. |
||
|
The farm consists of approximately 300 black Angus beef cows, calving in June and a diverse crop rotation including spring and winter wheat, oats, canola, flax, peas, soybeans, corn, perennial forages and diverse annual forages for grazing and greenfeed. |
||
|
Several different management practices have been used to enhance soil health including adaptive grazing, high stock density grazing, no-till, a diverse crop rotation, intercropping, winter grazing corn, bale grazing, and stockpile grazing. |
||
|
Recently, we have added the grazing of diverse mixtures of annual forages to the crop rotation with rapid improvements to soil health. |
