Maverick Farm Pasture Walk

July 1, 2014

Maverick Farm Pasture Walk

Karl & Tina graze 60 milking cows on 80 acres of pasture. They will discuss the soil health improvements that switching to a rotational grazing system has done for the farm. Other topics will include pasture infrastructure - fence, water, and grass - and getting it all in place with the help of NRCS. They are looking to improve some pastures in the near future and are looking for suggestions.

Come and visit with other graziers and share your thoughts!

Please wear clean boots!

**** Disposable boots will be available. *****
