Event flyer
This workshop is for farms and ranches of all sizes that are interested in using livestock as a soil-building tool that can improve production and profits. Savory Institute field professional Spencer Smith will show how a planned grazing system can improve soil’s water-holding capacity and increase mineralized nutrients for plant absorption. Increasing the yield and nutrient density of crops and forages can lead to great weight gains on livestock and to healthier crops. The workshop includes a ranch tour where attendees will learn how to read soil health indicators and develop an action plan to address issues unique to their agricultural operation.
