Join us Tuesday 3/4 in-person or virtually (Zoom link below) from 5-7PM at the Golden Sands RC&D office to hear from Jason Cavadini and Aaron Pape on enterprise selection, enterprise budgeting, & cash flow planning for your grazing operation.
Jason Cavadini is the Grazing Outreach Specialist with the UW-Madison Division of Extension. He conducts research, outreach, and educational programming focused on perennial forages, livestock-integrated cropping systems, and managed-grazing for farms of all scales. Jason grew up in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin where he developed an appreciation for soil and water conservation farming practices. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in Crop & Soil Science from University of Wisconsin-River Falls, and a master’s in Agronomy from Purdue University. Jason is a Certified Professional Agronomist and owns and operates a cow-calf to finish grazing operation with his wife, Jocelyn, and their five children.
Aaron Pape and his wife run Pape Family Pastures near Peshtigo, WI. They are a diversified grazing farm raising grass fed beef, pastured pigs, pastured broilers and custom grazing dairy heifers. Aaron’s work as a farm business consultant influences his management as he emphasizes the importance of managing finances and human resources to achieve land and lifestyle goals.
