SUMMARY:Wholeview Farm & Grassbelly Farmstead Pasture Walk - Richland County
DESCRIPTION:Begin the night with first-generation farmers\, Joe & Nikki Tyson\, as they show you their sheep\, goat and cattle AMP (adaptive multi-paddock) Grazing system. They will discuss their conversion of cropland to pasture\, incorporation of both warm and cool season species\, demonstrate their portable fencing equipment and the use of livestock guardian dogs on their farm. \n\n\n\nFor the second half of the night\, we will travel a few miles north to learn from Meghan Filbert & Omar de Kok-Mercado\, who are utilizing Nofence\, a virtual fencing system\, with goats and rams to control invasives in areas that previously did not have livestock due to the inability to fence. They will give an overview of how this new technology works and explain connectivity in the hills of the driftless.

SUMMARY:Pasture Walk Series @ Twin Creeks Cattle Co
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the summer\, this pasture walk series led by Paul and Tom Daigle will introduce UW-Stevens Point Natural Resources students to the principles of managed grazing and the ecosystem services provided by proper management of livestock on pastures. At each pasture walk\, cohorts of 35-40 students will learn principles of managed grazing and actively participate in pasture measurement\, sizing a paddock\, and calculating pasture forage availability. Tom and his wife Linda have owned this farm since 2010 and the land has been in the family for over 100 years. This year\, they have 20 cow-calf pairs\, 50 steers and heifers\, and 2 bulls. \n\n\n\nOPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

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!
