These include technical aspects (sowing, harvesting, crop protection), possible collaborations with a contractor and getting a good idea of the qualities of a crop. This crop may not always be purely financial, but offers opportunities towards liming, fertilisation, carbon build-up, soil quality and\/or IPM.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd9eaf2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dd9eaf2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our project: sharing experiences and practical guidelines<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8e1e3c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8e1e3c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Within this project, sharing experiences is key.

The PVL in turn provides practical guidelines to draw up a realistic rotation schedule for the farm. Demonstrations will also be given so farmers can see the effects of these adjustments.<\/p><p>Together, we strive for a robust and sustainable dairy farm, where crop rotation plays a central role in maintaining soil quality and the future of agriculture. \ud83c\udf31\ud83d\udc04<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b9233a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b9233a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f34bc5\" data-id=\"1f34bc5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6ce5f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f6ce5f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-768x121.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-4616\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-768x121.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-300x47.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-1024x162.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-1536x242.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-2048x323.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.pvl-vzw.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9-18x3.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Op een melkveebedrijf vormen mais en gras de basis van het rantsoen voor het vee.
