This is a chance to visit ranches, farms, prairies and other sites to see how others are meeting the challenges they face in managing.

Sometimes the field day is an experienced HM practitioner, sometimes someone new to the land and is inviting us to share what we know with them. We went to a packing plant once to learn about grading meats.

We often invite experts to teach a bit, but sometimes it is just the landowner and his team explaining why they have done what they have done, the mistakes they've made and what they have found that really works. We usually cater a nice meal, but sometimes it is potluck or even a sack lunch.

Tell us what you would like to see or where you would like to go and we will see if we can arrange it. Use the contact us form to talk to us or call our office (830-868-2427).
