Ontonagon – Pasture Walk – Western UP

Pasture Walk – Western UP By Frank Wardynski

Frank Wardynski will be hosting a pasture walk scheduled for October 5, at 10:00am ET until about noon or maybe a little longer. Location, 18360 Firesteel Rd, Ontonagon, MI 49953.

My plan for the morning is to talk about new grazing practices I have been using this year. I am implementing practices I learned at a Soil Health Academy that discusses management for regenerative agriculture. We will discuss both the grazing practices along with the tools and methods used to evaluate soil health. We will be looking at soil dug up with a spade and water infiltration and comparing various grazing practices. There are challenges and drawbacks to these grazing practices. We will discuss those as well. Lunch to follow.

Who should attend? The educational content will be directed towards farmers interested in grazing livestock and improving soil health, however, any non-farmers wanting attend to learn more about how their food is grown are more than welcome.
