Grow and Graze September 2025

Summer 2025 has created challenges for growers and graziers across Illinois. Learn what three farmers are doing to extend the growing season and manage their drought plan. Like all Grow and Graze webinars, the session was designed as a conversation rather than a presentation. Logan Karcher, ILGLC director of producer programs, moderates the discussion, joined by Dan Sanderson of Pasture Grazed Regenerative Farm and David Kleinschmidt of Progressive Agronomy Consulting. Together, the panelists shared updates from their operations, real-world challenges, and strategies Illinois graziers can apply in their own systems.
