Kansas State University is partnering with the Noble Research Institute to offer a three-part grazing course in the Flint Hills. The course blends hands-on land and grazing management techniques with practical business strategies, offering education and guidance to help ranchers implement an adaptive grazing management plan.
The three sessions will be held May 20-22, July 29-31 and September 9 in Council Grove. Space is limited to the first 35 participants. This series is designed as a complete program, so participants are expected to attend all three sessions to maximize the benefits.
During the first course, attendees will learn how to maximize forage use, prevent overgrazing and calculate optimal stocking rates. The second course will focus on aligning day-to-day grazing decisions with ranch goals, making smart upgrades to fences and water systems, and creating flexible grazing schedules that respond to changing weather and market trends. The third and final course will be an interactive workshop that brings everything together to form a grazing management plan.
