I am seeking farmer experiences with growing organic livestock feeds. I’m presenting information on this topic in January at the EcoFarm conference in Monterey, and wanting to highlight the experiences and convey the strategies of farmers growing organic livestock feeds in our area.
Below is a more generic inquiry I’ve posted to some other listservs and such.
Thanks,

I own a small, local endeavor called “Scratch and Peck…an eggsellent feed company” that specializes in whole grain and organic chicken feed.
I am seeking locally grown organic grains for my feeds. I would like to expand into mixing feeds for all livestock animals but want the grains to be locally sourced.
I’d love to hear from any farmer that is currently growing feed grains or who may be interested in doing so.
