LIVESTOCK FEED: QUANTITIES & REQUIREMENTS

Berkshire Grown is beginning an exciting new initiative: Local Feed for Local Livestock!  Based upon initial survey responses, local grain growers have determined that there is enough interest from local livestock producers to transition some of their acreage into growing grain for local livestock. In order to proceed, the growers need more details.  Please complete the survey below; even if you have completed the initial survey that was distributed, your answers here will provide more details that will help us in moving forward.  Many thanks!
