Our 2022 Great River Graziers/Kickapoo Grazing Initiative pasture walk schedule has been finalized and is shown below. Our walks are free to the public (no RSVP needed) and generally are on Tuesdays at 10:30 am, although we do have some Saturday walks this year. Thanks to Volunteer Vance Haugen, retired UW-Extension agent from Crawford County, who helps host the walks. The walks last approximately 2-3 hrs. We're partnering with Grassworks, Inc and many of our walks will feature operations that are involved with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service EQIP program. Two of our walks are also co-sponsored by Bonnie Haugen and the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship program. This year's walks feature some of our long-time graziers updating us on new projects as well as several new operations that are just beginning to graze dairy or beef cattle, as well as other livestock such as sheep, pigs, and goats.
Covid-19 Protocols for Pasture Walks:
As of May 18, 2021, the CDC has stated: Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing. That said, we ask that anyone experiencing Covid-19 symptoms not attend the pasture walk(s) and those attending should respect all participants, including those wishing to wear a mask and social distance as we are not yet at “herd” immunity in our state or county. These protocols are subject to change depending on state, federal and CDC guidance in coming months. Let’s work together to make our Pasture Walk season healthy and enjoyable for everyone!
Please check this page or our Facebook page for any updates or changes to the schedule.
