REGENERATIVE FARM-PASTURE WALK
GREG BRANN’S BIG SPRING FARM
Thursday, October 17, 10 am to 4 pm CDT
683 Blankenship Rd, Adolphus, KY 42120
RSVP: gregbrann5@gmail.com
An interactive field discussion to assist folks in managing the water cycle, nutrient cycle, energy flow, and biological interactions.
We’ll gather some of the brightest and most innovative farmers for an interactive field discussion on improving soil, grass, livestock, and our lives through Regenerative farming practices. We’re expecting a big crowd this year since we’ll be the final portion of the Heart of America Grazing Conference. The link below will take you to the conference page, where you can read about the conference and prepay for the pasture walk.
I’ve been experimenting with new products from Redmond Agriculture on our livestock and have been trying out new Gallagher Fence products that we’ll review.
180 acres came out of CRP this year, and we’re encouraged to see all the native grasses increasing naturally. We’ll talk about how we’re rejuvenating and renovating pastures and improving the genetics of the herds and flocks.
