Pigs/Geese: winter over in greenhouse and then move through fields

March/early April onto frozen ground as the greenhouse thaws enough to plant: field #1 from frozen ground to 1" thaw: barley, kale, cabbage gets planted when the animals leave.

April till mid-May into field #2 for and tomatoes, squash, and corn go in after.

Mid-May into field #3, either perennial pasture or fall/very early spring plant of grain (rye?).

Quick sweep through haskap and apple pastures to pick up excess fruit. in summer/late fall as required.

Mid-Sept back into field #2

Oct back into field #1

Nov back into greenhouse.

That's 3 fields minimum plus orchards and greenhouse. It supports a rotation, either a 3-year one or a couple years in field #3 which could also be planted with a good hog mix. Realistically it would be better to have several field #3s if it's not going to be perennial pasture and they could step through maybe 1 per month.

Requires mobile hog housing and some sort of watering infrstructure.

Hm.
