Book
Organic Dairy Production by Sarah Flack can be ordered from www.acresusa.com or www.nofa.org/store
“Healthful organic milk comes from healthy cows…which come from good livestock management including access to high-quality stored forages (hay, silage) and pastures. Which in turn come from healthy soils. The quality of these elements all depend on the observation skills and practices of the farmer…”
In chapters on soils, plants and livestock, Flack describes practices developed on farms which are managing successfully under organic principles. There's an overview of the many preventive and treatment health options available, descriptions of how to manage soils, crops & pastures and advice for marketing fluid milk and value-added dairy products. Organic Dairy Production discusses the regulations governing both milk and value-added production, labeling and sales. Profiles of individual farms help shed light on aspects of dairying and value-added production.
