Seneca, Ks – On January 2, 1011 the Northeast Kansas Four Seasons Graziers plans to meet at 1:30 p.m. in Axtell, Kansas, at St. Michael’s Catholic Church School Basement. The afternoon will include a tour of winter cover crops that are currently being grazed at Brian and Bill Buessing’s. The meeting will include indoor discussion and a light lunch.
The group, which organized in the spring of 2010, is a producer led, informal group that meets for pasture walks, farm tours, and discussions on grazing and livestock management.
The group also met December 2 at the Windmill Inn in Seneca, Kansas, for an informal discussion on grazing related topics. About 30 graziers participated in the discussion. The hot topic of the evening was comparing Greg Judy’s ultra-high-density mobgrazing to Jim Gerrish’s management intensive rotational grazing.
