Mainly by growing root crops for winter feed, and to a less extent some feed fir summer and autumn fattening. The vast majority of the farmers in New Zealand can easily increase the carrying capacity of their laud by the same means. A good crop of carrots, mangolds, swedes or turnips will produce from say forty to seventy tons per acre We grow a large acreage in carrots forgseed each season.
