Drought woes? Extra forage? Midwest Grazing Exchange could help make a connection.
2021-08-06 13:00 - 14:00
August 6, 1:00 pm Central Daylight Time
All of the Dakotas and Minnesota, and parts of Wisconsin and Iowa, are in moderate to extreme drought. Many cattle producers in these areas are facing acute forage shortages. One potential strategy is to send cattle away to graze in other states where forage is abundant. The new Midwest Grazing Exchange was established to facilitate just this kind of movement of livestock to available grazing: connecting graziers and landowners in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. Join a webinar Friday, August 6 at 1:00 pm CDT to learn about the Midwest Grazing Exchange: how to use it, how to enter into contract grazing, and where to find additional help with making grazing connections.

Google Map »
RSVP to Barb Sogn-Frank, LSP, bsognfrank@landstewardshipproject.org

Join Member-Farmer Chris Gunderson at his rolling 1,600 acre farm to learn about his approach to controlling erosion and filtering and storing water with regenerative agriculture methods such as strip-tilling, no-till and animal integration grazing cattle after corn harvest on his row crop fields.
Lunch will be served after the presentation and tour.

Chris Gunderson is a fourth-generation farmer using strip-till and no-till cropping practices to grow conventional corn and soybeans near Spring Valley, Minnesota. Chris manages his 1,600 acres on his own, including grazing cattle, corn, soybeans, hay and CRP land. He’s adopted soil health practices that are manageable without additional crew to control erosion and build healthier, more water-retaining soil. He’s participated with the Preston MN LSP Soil Health Hub to share and learn from other farmers looking to build their soil’s health and better their bottom lines.
Topics:

Strip-till of conventional corn and soybeans
No-till
Pastured cattle
Integration of cattle on row crop acres
Solar array to power the farm operation and dwelling

Coffee w/ Gabe Brown in Ivanhoe - How to apply Regenerative Agriculture in Lincoln County
2021-07-24 09:30 - 11:30 | 19 & 75 Cafe, 2792 US-75, Ivanhoe, MN 56142
In partnership with the Minnesota Soil Health Coalition and Regenquity, we welcome Gabe Brown, author of ‘Dirt to Soil’ and featured in the documentary ‘Kiss the Ground’ to Ivanhoe to talk with local producers this Saturday.

Location: 19 & 75 Cafe, 2792 US-75, Ivanhoe, MN 56142
Contact Jason at 701-371-9973 or Mark at 505-980-1360 with questions.

Gabe started farming 300 acres near Bismarck, ND in the early 90’s. After being hailed out 4 years in a row, he sought a new approach to save the farm and get out of $1.5 million in debt. After much study and testing, Gabe began making an emphasis on soil health in his operation. He was able to rapidly repair his farm’s soils which began supporting a healthy ecosystem. Allowing him to all but eliminate expensive inputs, free up his time, and increase their per acre productivity 30X. The family’s operation has grown to 5,000 acres with a multitude of enterprises including cash crops, cover crops, cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens, eggs, honey, herding dogs, pet food, vegetables, wildlife, fruits, nuts, and other value-add products. Gabe has testified at two federal House Agricultural Committee hearings regarding farm policy. Now he travels the country consulting for his company Understanding Ag and his non-profit, Soil Health Academy.

Join the Soil Health Nexus next Wednesday, July 21st at 2pm CT to hear from Joel Gruver, Associate Professor of Soil Science at Western Illinois University about solar corridor planting systems.

Solar corridor planting systems create new opportunities for using cover crops to enhance soil health on conventional and organic farms. Joel’s presentation will summarize lessons learned from 3 years of investigation on solar corridor planting systems at the WIU Organic Research farm and other farms experimenting with the practice. Discussion will explore how strategic adjustment of crop spacing, both in-row and between rows, and complementary practices like carefully designed cover crop mixes and banding of N can greatly increase cover crop benefits while minimizing loss of crop productivity.
