Seed Keepers

["Margaret L. Wilson" <booldawgs@frontiernet.net>]

Allan (or anyone)  tell me about using it for forage, please.  As you know, 
I am cutting back on livestock and working at being more self-sufficient 
here.  I am looking at all of the non-hay options including mangels, turnips 
and fodder radishes.  Anything that will cut the hay bill :-))

Thanks
Margaret
