Cover Crops for Livestock Forage with Jen Riemer

In Her Boots

We’re back with Jen Riemer to talk about the importance of diversity on the farm. Jen shares how she uses cover crops to build healthy soil, and adds value/fertility by using cover crops as livestock forage—wins all around! Jen Riemer and her family have a regenerative and diverse livestock farm selling pastured, farm-fresh meat and eggs directly from Riemer Family Farm in south-central Wisconsin. Jen’s family is transitioning the farm from a commodity beef and crop operation to 100% grass-fed beef and lamb as well as pastured poultry and hogs. She focuses on regenerating soil and bringing diverse ecology back to the land.
