July 30th Voight Family Farm Pasture Walk Recap
|
The July 30th pasture walk at Voight Family Farms was a success! Special thanks to Del & Lori Voight for hosting and sharing and to all who came out to learn and share. The focus was on small acreage grazing and to launch the new loaner fence program but here are a few key takeaways that are applicable for all farmers and graziers:
1) When it comes to looking at your acreage and options, Capital RC&D Grazing Advisor, Titus Martin, notes "You have to have an imagination." 2) Reach out to organizations and agencies that can help design a complete grazing system, even if you can't implement it all at one time. 3) Every parcel, person, and goals are different. There are always recommendations and ideas, but you need to look most closely at what might work best for you, your family, business, and land. To learn more about Capital RC&D's grazing support program, including grazing advisement and the new loaner fence program, visit our grazing support page. |
