Pasture Management

This program is designed for all sizes and types of farms, and ranches.

Using Natural Rotational Grazing techniques to manage pasture lands.

In January 2010 I was able to attend a school put on by the USDA, FSA, NRCS, Soil and Water District, other private companies, and Central Lakes College.

The instructor, a rancher native of Canada, taught a group of about 110 farmers and ranchers some of the How-To's and Why's of his program. I was inspired by the program, and am currently expanding my operation and management of rotational grazing our rented lands as well as more correctly managing our home site as well.

I have long practiced the management techniques taught in the program, and with the additional know how and inspiration, I have begun the process of adding all of our 6 rented pastures to our rotational grazing program.

In 2010 we have added 120 acres of rotational grazing lands from previously continuously grazed pastures. Our landowners are very excited about the upgrades and we're glad to be able to better manage their lands.

We are currently accepting applications for adding more lands and farms to our program for 2010, 2011, and beyond.

If you'd like to be included in our program, contact us, and we'll sit down with you, look at your maps, and see what will work best for you!
