‘High rise’ grasses could transform Cayman’s beef production
Importing ‘high rise’ grasses could help Cayman farmers adopt new methods of raising cattle and significantly increase local food production.
That’s the view of West Bay farmer Paul Rivers, who wants to bring elephant grass, which can grow as high as four metres (13 feet), to the island.
He believes growing the forage locally would allow him and other cattle farmers to shift to a more intensive cut-and-carry system and potentially quadruple livestock production on limited land. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
