Allan Savory Field Day

 We attended the Allan Savory Field Day sponsored by SDSU and the SDGLC out in Hayti, SD last week.  The weather was cool but the students were tough and learned about grazing systems from the different presentations and tours.
 The operation we toured featured cover crops and we gained more knowledge of this type of grazing system.
 The transportation was first-class and the blankets came in handy!
The students are (mostly) paying attention to Allan's presentation.  There were excellent questions addressed during the day and many of us were challenged to a different mindset of grazing livestock. The day ended with the NRCS demonstrating their rainfall simulator.  If you have not seen this, I would encourage you to check out the Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9K9idBcJLY
