Pasture Walks
Pasture Walks have been held for the last 10 years in LaGrange County. The program was started by local ag producers, with cooperation from NRCS and SWCD personnel, who were interested in promoting Intensive Management Rotational Grazing. Pasture Walks involve a monthly tour of local rotational grazing farms with much grass roots sharing of what works and what doesn't! Typical topics of discussion are fencing, watering systems, dairying practices, paddock development, and travel lane arrangements.
