Pasture management is one of the most important pieces of our farming system. When managed poorly, both the soil and the animals suffer. When managed well, it creates healthier land, healthier livestock, a more resilient farm, and nutrient-dense meats.
With Father's Day just around the corner, I've been thinking a lot about my dad and the dreams that helped build the farm our family now calls home.
After six generations on this farm, surprises are harder to come by. But this spring, a routine trip through one of our hay fields revealed something none of us expected. It was a humbling reminder that while we farm this land, we also share it with a much larger ecosystem.
