Dairy Pasture Walks to Feature Two Northeast Iowa Grazing Farms

By Jennifer Bentley

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach invites dairy producers and pasture enthusiasts to two upcoming pasture walks in Clayton and Allamakee counties this September.

Pasture walks are informal educational opportunities designed to highlight key aspects of pasture management and provide practical answers to common questions. These events are open to all producers who rely on forage-based systems.

“These pasture walks will offer participants a close look at innovative grazing practices, sharemilking arrangements and low-cost parlor systems tailored for grass-based dairy operations,” said Jenn Bentley, extension dairy specialist at Iowa State.
