With much of the Midwest in moderate to extreme drought, many cattle producers are facing acute forage shortages. One potential strategy is to send cattle away to graze in other states where forage is abundant.
The new Midwest Grazing Exchange was established to facilitate just this kind of movement of livestock to available grazing: connecting graziers and landowners in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin.
The idea will be the topic of a webinar on August 6 at 1 p.m.
The virtual event is being organized by the Midwest Perennial Forage Working Group of Green Lands Blue Waters.
