Grow and Graze Fall Webinar

Our Grow and Graze webinars connect producers to peers and experts who have implemented successful grazing strategies. We’re creating a space where producers can share what’s working in their grazing systems and help one another make more informed, profitable decisions.


Featured panelists include:

  • Dan Sanderson, owner of Pasture Grazed Regenerative Farm in northern Illinois, who will share insights on adaptive grazing practices, multispecies management, and infrastructure for adaptive rotational grazing.
  • David Kleinschmidt, owner of Progressive Agronomy Consulting, known for his practical guidance on forage selection and soil health

Tuesday, September 16 | 7 PM

Quarterly online chats that are heavy on conversation and light on slides. Learn what other Illinois producers are doing to improve their grazing and forage operations.
