"Silvopasture by Subtraction" On-Farm Demonstration

04/05/2025 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

Description

Join us at Dave Evans Farms, a working cattle operation, for an illuminating demonstration of silvopasture by subtraction. Dave will walk attendees through his process for opening up oak savannas overtaken by other trees. We'll also have a seeding demonstration showcasing various application methods. Bryan Simon, a silvopasture specialist with SFA, and DNR forester Brett Anderson will be on hand to answer questions.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about silvopasture as a sustainable farming practice and network with experts in the field!

There will be a short walk to the pasture. Please wear footwear appropriate for potential mud and rough terrain.
