QUESTION

For both organic and
conventional dairy farms in Maine, please order in DECREASING frequency
the following practices. For example after re-ordering, the first practice
would be extremely common, the second the next most common, the third less
common than the second, and the fourth the least common in Maine.
Dairy
farmer purchases concentrated feed such as corn meal and soy
meal.
Dairy
farmer grows own forages such as corn silage and/or hay and grass
silage.
Dairy
farmer grows own concentrated feed crops (e.g. soybeans, barley, corn
grain) and processes these crops to feed to animals.
QUESTION

For the conventional beef
feedlot buying free-range calves, the total acres of the feedlot, the area
required to grow corn grain and silage fed, as well as the range land
required for cow-calf operations to produce feeder calves to send to the
beef feedlot totals
acres which is
divided by the farm’s total 86.25 animal equivalent units (or AEU where 1
AEU = 1,000 lb of animal regardless of species) to get
acres/AEU.
Thus one divided by this acres/AEU means that the conventional beef
feedlot buying free-range calves has
AEU/acre
or
lb/acre
of animals, which is less than Polyface farm. In other words, there is
LESS animal mass per unit land area for the conventional beef system
compared to Polyface.
