DGA Fall Pasture Walk & PaddockTrac Demo

DGA Fall Pasture Walk & PaddockTrac Demo at Walter Farm

SFA's Angie Walter is hosting a DGA Fall Pasture Walk and demonstration of the PaddockTrac system from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thurs., Sept. 7, at her Walter Organic Family Farm, 11034 110th St, Villard, Minn. 

The PaddockTrac device, which is in the prototype phase, mounts to the front of a UTV or 4-wheeler and uses sonar waves to measure forage height in pastures. Once the data is saved and uploaded, its app generates a grazing wedge. The Walters drive their pastures weekly, using their eyes and the data from the grazing wedge to get a fuller picture on which to base their grazing management decisions.

This event is free and includes lunch. Please RSVP for planning purposes by using DGA's Registration Page.
