Adaptive Grazing Management in Drought Discussion

Adaptive Grazing Management in Drought Discussion Sept. 13 near Spicer

Are you suffering from drought over the past growing season(s)? Has drought forced you to make financial decisions that set your farm and goals back? 

Join SFA's Jonathan Kilpatrick and Doug Voss for a free event to discuss livestock management in drought from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Wed., Sept. 13, at 7143 71st St, Spicer, Minn. (Look for SFA Event signs; see map at right). 

We will gather on a leased pasture that Voss Farms just began leasing this season, and Jonathan and Doug will discuss multiple drought management methods that may work for your farm. Take a look at feeding hay on pasture in these tricky weather conditions to still bring significant value to your grazing land. Discussions on custom grazing, watering systems, and fencing infrastructure will also be included. Attend this event to learn these proven techniques as well as network with other farmer attendees who are going through the same situation.

Please wear footwear suitable for walking in tall grass as we work our way around the pasture for the evening. Also, please bring your own water bottle to keep hydrated.

Box lunches will be available for those who register.  

Walkups are welcome, but may not be guaranteed a box lunch.

Registration is free.
