Shutterstock Small dairy producers across the country can participate in Balde Cheio, an Embrapa program that seeks to improve the efficiency and profitability of dairy farming through the training of rural extension technicians. In practice, the participating properties become a kind of open-air classroom. In them, technicians and producers monitor the application of changes designed according to the reality of each farm. The proposal is to identify what can be improved on the property and adopt techniques that contribute to making milk production more efficient and profitable, considering the conditions and resources available in each location. Embrapa provides a free publication about Balde Cheio, with information on how the program works and guidance for those who wish to participate. ?Access here Stamp on the flesh: find out what it means and whether it poses risks
