Conservationist Visits
Grass-Based Dairy
Project Grass To Expand In North
NEEDMORE (Fulton Co.)
Robin Heard, Pennsylvania
state conservationist, and 52
other people from across the
state attended a Project Grass
field day May 8 at Ed and
Sandy Swope’s dairy farm in
Fulton County.
Ed and Sandy Swope quit
milking and sold off their
dairy cows in the 19905. In a
few years, the Swopes’ sons
wanted to get back into farm
ing, so they contacted Project
Grass and asked about graz
ing. They started again with
just grazing replacement heif
ers in their 40-acre grazing
system consisting of three-acre
paddocks. The success of their
new grazing system put the
Swopes back in the milking
business again, milking and
grazing 80 cows.
The Swopes also graze 150
chickens, using wooden pens
that they move around the
paddocks.
Ed Swope gave field day
visitors a ride through his
grazing paddocks, showing
and explaining his grazing,
fencing, and water systems.
Swope said that rotational
grazing cuts labor and costs,
and results in healthier, hap
pier animals.
