SUMMARY:Raising and Grazing Goats Academy
DESCRIPTION:Raising and Grazing Goats Academy Will Highlight Using Goats as a Land Management Tool!Goats are nature’s solution to woody plants and undesired vegetation. The last thing that a goat wants to eat is grass! This makes the goat a perfect answer for all of the plants that ranchers struggle with to control; that the cows and sheep don’t like. This plant material is perfect for a group of goats. In addition to solving the invasive species problem an added bonus is the crop of goat kids as a revenue stream for the producer. The weaned kids can be saved as replacement animals\, used for a rent-a-goat land management service or sold for income.Any producer considering raising goats should plan to attend one of these two-day grazing schools\, to be offered June 1-2\, June 8-9\, or June 29-30\, 2026. These two-day schools will be held at the SAVE Farm\, 9680 N 52nd St. Riley\, KS. Registration starts at 9:00 a.m. with Class from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.There is no cost to attend this grazing school. Lunch will be provided and attendees will be given a 3-ring binder resource guide with information and room to compile and store the business records for the goat business. Pre-registration is needed for planning lunch and handouts. Please provide complete name\, mailing address\, email\, phone number for everyone that is attending. Please pre-register using the QR Code or with Mary Howell\, mary@kglc.org or call/text 785-562-8726.Instructors for this school are Mary Powell and Lora Frick.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Your Grazing From the Ground Up
DESCRIPTION:Join us June 24\, 25 or 26\, 2026\, with Steve Kenyon\, Greener Pastures Grazing Ltd\, Alberta\, Canada\, the guest speaker at three\, one-day workshops in Winfield\, Wilmore and Kiowa Kansas. The workshop will start with registration at 9:00 a.m. and the meeting kicking off at 9:30 a.m. Topic titles include We Grow Soil\, It’s All About Water\, Livin’ on the Edge\, What Bugs Me; all from the Ground Up. This workshop will explore what it takes to grow soil\, rebuild the water cycle\, what happens above the ground\, building ecosystems and managing for biodiversity on the farm. These components result in better grass and improve range health\, resulting in enhanced grazing and stewardship on the ranch. \n\n\n\nGrazing School Locations: June 24th – Baden Square Community Center\, 700 Gary Street\, Winfield\, KS \n\n\n\nJune 25th – Wilmore Community Center\, 105 S. Taft\, Wilmore\, KS \n\n\n\nJune 26th – Kiowa Community Center\, 1195 5th St. Kiowa. KS \n\n\n\nThis workshop is free. Registration is greatly appreciated for adequate meeting planning. \n\n\n\nWhen asked why ranchers should attend Steve said. “We will take a deep dive underground and see what it takes to grow soil. We will explore some of the symbiotic relationships between plants and microbiology to show how they sequester carbon to build soil through root exudation. \n\n\n\nWe will also investigate rebuilding the water cycle; we might not be able to control how much rainfall we receive\, but we can control how much we hold onto. Increasing water holding capacity and improving infiltration can be a game changer for most farms. In the afternoon\, we will focus above ground\, looking at building ecosystems and managing for biodiversity. Planning for a polyculture of plants and maximizing the interactions between the different management zones allows us to reduce if not eliminate the use of inputs like fertilizer and pesticides. Building a healthy soil\, protecting riparian areas and creating insect and wildlife habitats can greatly increase your bottom line. \n\n\n\nIf you want less pharmacology on your land\, we need more farm ecology!” \n\n\n\nSteve has been teaching sustainable grazing management along with agricultural economics for more than 20 years. He has been a keynote speaker at many conferences and seminars throughout Canada\, the U.S. and Europe. He has also been a writer for the Stockman Grass Farmer and Canadian Cattleman magazines for over 15 years\, as well as the creator and host of the ongoing Wednesday Night Networking webinar and podcast. \n\n\n\nSteve is well respected in the agriculture community for his business management practices and innovative ideas. Greener Pastures Ranching is a regenerative farm with environmental goals focused on creating a living soil\, healing the water cycle and rebuilding ecosystems. Their mission statement is “Economic ad Environmental Sustainability for Generations.” \n\n\n\nIt is important to us to provide an enjoyable\, profitable and sustainable business for future generations. \n\n\n\nPlease take advantage of this unique grazing school by registering at your selected location. Please RSVP with names and numbers; using the QR Code\, send an email to Mary Howell at mary@kglc.org or call/text Mary Howell at 785-562-8726. There is no charge for this workshop and lunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nThis great educational opportunity is offered with funding for this grazing school made possible by a grant from USDA-NRCS. Kansas Grazing Lands Coalition is joined by other educational partners; National Grazing Lands Coalition\, SAVE Farm\, and Kansas Soil Health Alliance.
