Description of the measure

Corn straw

Comments on sustainability

Corn straw can be an alternative to saving hay and litter traditionally made from cereal straw. This compensation is particularly important during periods of drought, making it possible to foresee the autonomy of the farm and not to depend on external purchases to ensure fodder needs.
