Interesting read about farming in Austria, using a loose hay system, certified hay milk production, Enshrined in EU law as a recognized type of milk. Standards have been developed, many historical.
The "drying box " also caught my attention. 10 hectares a day, saving 25% of the energy loss that normal drying results in, let alone the impact that wet weather would have on forage quality. Hay vs Silage gets a 25 cent per litre CDN premium for organic hay milk in the EU .
