Darrell has worked for over 30 years researching, promoting, and helping farmers implement grazing‐based livestock production systems in the Northeast region of the U.S., with special emphasis on grass‐based dairy production. His primary research interests include understanding the foraging behavior of livestock, the use and management of species diverse naturalized pastures, evaluations of grazing management methods, matching livestock type to forage management strategy, evaluations of various forage species for use as pasture.
