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:New Planter Field Trials & Multi-species Cover Crops - Twin B Dairy
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Twin B Dairy Farm for an in-field look at The Digital Farmer & Crew’s newly designed soybean planter field trials. We’ll explore visible plant differences and dive into how planter performance influences soybean root development. Afterward\, we’ll head over to another field where Adam has established multispecies cover crops following small-grain harvest. This will be a great opportunity to talk through species selection and discuss how diverse cover crops impact plant conditions and overall soil health. EPPIC will provide lunch following the field tours.

SUMMARY:Graze! Summer Field Day at Golden Banty Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join MNWiC for a terrific grazing discussion with Jennifer Olson at Golden Banty Farm in Villard\, MN. Jennifer is the third generation of her family to operate Golden Banty Farm along with her husband James and their three year old daughter Lainey.  She runs a mixed herd of commercial and registered British White cow-calf pairs on a rotational grazing system.  She has utilized NRCS and Minnesota Department of Agriculture funds to implement several projects including native seeding\, fence and waterline development\, and cattle facilities.  \n\n\n\nJennifer has a lot of experience and knowledge to share and you can expect to hear about animal selection\, farm transition planning\, low-stress livestock handling\, cooperating with federal and local agencies\, finding funding\, and most of all practicing grazing as a holistic managment. \n\n\n\nJeff Duchene\, the Minnesota state grazing specialist for USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service\, will be in attendance – bringing along the NRCS Grazing Trailer to showcase practical fencing\, watering systems and materials. Jeff has been working with the Olsons for some time and is a wealth of knowledge. \n\n\n\nDetails and RSVP here:

SUMMARY:Cavern Point Farm Pasture Walk and Tour
DESCRIPTION:Jason and Jocelyn Cavadini and their five children manage a Red Angus beef herd on 70 acres of pasture. They use management‑intensive rotational grazing with the goal of extending the grazing season through December. In winter\, the herd is outwintered using bale grazing. Afterwards\, the outwintering area is seeded with an annual cover crop mix for quick forage and to prepare the sight for reseeding of perennials in the fall. We’ll cover how to extend the grazing season with stockpiled forage\, the soil‐building benefits of well-managed bale grazing\, and effective pasture renovation practices.
