SUMMARY:Adaptive Grazing for Resilient Farms & Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Hands-on grazing management education for working lands and livestock systems \n\n\n\nAdaptive Grazing for Resilient Farms & Landscapes is a field-based academy focused on how intentional grazing management can regenerate land\, improve livestock performance\, and strengthen farm profitability. This academy is designed for farmers\, ranchers\, and land managers working across cropland\, pasture\, and marginal grazing land.Hosted at Voss Farms in central Minnesota\, this academy explores adaptive grazing on cropland converted to diverse perennial systems\, marginal grazing acres\, and both public and private lands — with real-world examples of how grazing decisions are used to meet specific resource and production goals. \n\n\n\nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:Stock Density Management in Action
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all heard about the benefits of increasing stock density—but what does the jump from 5\,000 to 100\,000 lbs of animal per acre actually look like in practice? \n\n\n\nJoin SFA Grazing Education Lead Patrick Toomey and Farmer Education Director Jonathan Kilpatrick at Great Heritage Farms near Winthrop\, Minnesota\, where farmers Leah and Benjamin Matzke will demonstrate increasing stock densities in real time. Participants will observe\, compare\, and discuss how pastures\, soils\, and livestock respond at each level. \n\n\n\nTopics include: \n\n\n\n\nHow stock density and time on pasture influence outcomes\n\n\n\nUnderstanding Brix and what it means for ruminant nutrition\n\n\n\nPlant and soil responses to grazing—and why they matter\n\n\n\nIdentifying overgrazing (even in well-managed systems)\n\n\n\n“Gardening” pastures with livestock for long-term productivity\n\n\n\n\nThis is a hands-on\, in-field learning experience focused on what to look for\, how to interpret what you see\, and how to apply it back on your own operation.The material covered is in the 201 – 301 level range\, the event is designed for attendees with moderate to high experience with grazing. \n\n\n\nRegistration: Free Admission. Please register by Friday\, August 7 to ensure you are included in the headcount for lunch. Register here: https://www.sfa-mn.org/inspire-events/8676

SUMMARY:Great River Graziers Pasture Walk Series
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome at this pasture walk series\, facilitated by Vance Haugen (507) 459-0495 \n\n\n\nGreat River Graziers is a peer to peer learning network of graziers in Southwest Wisconsin\, primarily centered around Crawford County. For our pasture walks\, we ask that the host come with a question or situation in which they are looking to improve. The attendees will play a large role in offering assistance\, advice\, knowledge\, and experience to help answer the host’s question or improve their situation. \n\n\n\nThis is an active learning opportunity for all present\, not a showcase. \n\n\n\nwww.crawfordstewardship.org/grg  \n\n\n\n**check Facebook for schedule updates**
