This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in Animal Care.

For this Badge Bit, you will grow forage for chickens/pigs in four paddocks!

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
 - Grow forage for chickens/pigs in four paddocks
     - at least 12 plant species, obviously more than 50,000 calories of forage per paddock
     - note that 15 pounds of sunchokes are 5000 calories

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
 - show what is going to be planted for forage and list what plants they are
 - planting the forage in at least four paddocks
 - forage plants growing abundantly in each paddock
