Forest to Pasture by Logging & Intensive Grazing
Forest to Pasture by Logging & Intensive Grazing
The first week of the AUG Grazing Series was held at Glenn Hogberg’s on Tuesday (Aug 6th).
He showed us a quarter section that was logged over 20 yrs ago and then converted to pasture through intensive rotational grazing.
We also looked at his gravity fed watering system, which feeds water from a dugout to several tanks in the pastures.
The group also stopped at a manure composting area to see how Glenn puts his piles in long, narrow windrows to make it easy for him to flip & fluff the piles to add oxygen which speeds along the composting process.
For more information on this evening pasture walk & talk please check out an article in our upcoming fall newsletter, which will arrive in our member’s mailboxes mid October.

Next week the AUG Grazing Series is at Jack Thiessen’s near Buick. Starts at 5:30pm. Our first FIRE WAGON will be showcased (Wildland Sturctural Protection Trailer) and then Jack will discuss using Prescribed Fire (Rx) to deal with brush. We will also look at a prescribed fire completed this spring (April 2024).
