What does a cropland-to-pasture conversion on a diversified farm look like after three years?

This operation utilizes a mix of annual and perennial forages, and the walk will cover how the grazing system is managed across the season.

Virtual fence technology is generating a lot of interest among Illinois graziers. The walk will cover how the system works day-to-day, what it takes to get cattle trained to the collars, and how virtual fencing compares to conventional temporary fence for managing rotations.

See how one Illinois producer is combining cover crop grazing with traditional perennial pasture to keep dairy cattle on grass as much of the year as possible.

Be creative as you plan a successful regenerative grazing system using adaptive practices. The contest includes a short quiz on your understanding of adaptive grazing practices. Then, apply what you’ve learned by mapping out a grazing system, including forage maintenance, pasture design, and grazing rotation schedules.
