Pasture

to the living room to unwind in tonight's episode of Yee-Haw. After a half hour of pointless farmer comedy, a STUNNING commercial came on the television screen. The commercial was from pioneer seed company. The narrator said,”Pioneer has done it again.” They have made a drought aid fertilizer to aid the droughts that southeast Wisconsin will be seeing this summer.” Tim sighed to himself, and said,”if only my That was affordable.” After that, he overheard his dad calling a retirement agent about having a retirement party. This shocked him. His dad had always loved farming. Tim thought that eventually he would come back to the family farm. He didn’t want to loose any of the barns where he learned how to swing out of bale forts. Or the pastures where to cows grazed and made a picture perfect scene. The cows himself that they milked every day. Tim knew he would have to take over somehow. And THAT was a fact. Assistance (How he/she gets trained and how he/she gets the talisman): He has a long conversation with Tim Baier. Tim finds how he could save the Farm. Tim meets Brad O'Brien who sells him the much-needed tractor. Tim heard that if he sticks with the farm that he would get it all. The drought makes farming hardly possible. Planting was beautifully perfect. Fertilizer was very risky because no fertilizer was proven to work. The humidity was bad enough that trucks overheated after running for 5 minutes. You could hardly walk around the barn without getting dehydrated.…

Early Intensive Stocking management practices pose a serious threat to biodiversity in the Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie region. Annual spring burning coupled with intensive cattle stocking following the fire. This practice has been estimated to be roughly twice the stocking rate as the area can provide. In which ungulates are grazed for 90-120 days into late summer or early fall (Robbins, et al 239 ). The combination of fire and intense grazing has been demonstrated to have negative impacts on…

Horses, notoriously hard on pastures, are often kept in overgrazed, under fertilized pastures. After a long winter and late spring, many will find that their pastures are exceptionally damaged, particularly in high traffic and densely stocked areas. Taking the time to renovate now and using our suggested pasture management practices will lead to better pastures and ultimately healthier horses. Horses are spot grazers and prefer shorter stems, and will not graze areas with manure. While…

Strengths Ownerships/Partnerships One of the main key strengths that Zenda Farms contains is their relationship with the Thousand Island Land Trust (TILT).

The Southern Mixed Prairie is considered the most important western range type for livestock production (Holechek, Pieper & Herbel, 2011) and once spanned a vast area of 565,000 km2 (Van Dyne and Dyer, 1973). Debate amongst various scholarly sources has made the boundaries of the Southern Mixed Prairie ambiguous. According to one model, this rangeland area spans central Nebraska down into northern Oklahoma (U.S. Forest Service, 2005). An alternate source elaborates that the Southern Mixed…

While pastoral nomadism is considered subsistence farming, ranching is a commercial agricultural practice. Pastoral nomadism is commonly dissing areas where the land is too dry to grow crops. This area includes north Africa and Central and Southwest Asia. The Maasai people from kenya and Tanzania are one example. The animals provide everything that the nomads need, including skin for clothes, milk and meat to eat and drink, and other parts for other uses. Sometimes the women and children will…

In Haunted Natchez by Courtney Taylor and Pastures of Plenty by Jordan Breal two small towns are described by their residents. Jordan Breal depicts how the town of Round Top may be an antique empire for a few weeks of the year, but its hidden beauty is the time when people are not flocking here for deals and bargains. Her literary techniques contrast the reality of the…

practice, small acreage farms may nevertheless face challenges in providing a proper diet and safe environment for horses. There are several reasons why farms with limited pasture capacity may find it demanding to meet the requirements necessary for healthy horses. First, horses can consume large amounts of forage while often grazing up to eighteen horses each day (Natural Resources Conservation Service, 2008). Second, unlike most livestock, horses bite instead of tear the grass when eating. …
