SUMMARY:What Happens When We Till? A Soil Health Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Tilling and plowing our soil is a powerful tool—but like any tool\, it’s not right for every job. Join us for this hands-on workshop as we build a shared “know-till” mindset and discuss ways to make smart tillage decisions based on soil conditions\, crops\, and context. \n\n\n\nWe’re bringing a USDA-NRCS rainfall simulator to Milwaukee (for potentially the first time ever!) so we can see firsthand the impact that different management practices have on soil. \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn: \n\n\n\n\nHow tillage affects soil health—and what that means for your weed management\, irrigation\, and fertilization\n\n\n\nTips to choose the right tillage methods and equipment for your production goals\n\n\n\nAlternate no- and low-till practices that can help manage weeds\, reduce soil compaction\, and terminate cover crops\n\n\n\n\nPlus\, take home FREE cover crop seed to plant this season!  \n\n\n\nFree event\, register here!

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! While this pasture walk series is designed for natural resources students\, all events in the series are open to the public! These events are free of cost and no registration is required to attend!
