There was an amazing turnout yesterday for the 33rd Annual Milford Lake EcoMeet. The kids didn't let a little, ok a whole lot of rain, get in the way of a great time.

Brooke with K-State Extension-River Valley District and I had a very full room with each of the 4 groups taking the Invertebrates focus test. She was definitely the tech genius that kept us on track :)
* SHOUT OUT to Jase Kloft for placing 2nd in the Invertebrates test. They ended up having TWO tie breaker rounds to determine who won!

CCCMS and Wakefield each had 3 teams competing and CCCMS Team B took 2nd place over all!

Note to self... don't take the "fancy" personal truck when going out to look at a producer's pasture.
On a positive note, I was able to get the info I needed and made it out with no cow sized dents 😂

On a serious note:
We are thankful when landowners reach out to us for technical assistance. If we don't know the answer, we know someone that does. Please don't hesitate to get a hold of us for any help you may need, it's what we're here for!

We had a great time Saturday at Lucinda Stuenkel's Sunny Day Farms Tour. The networking at an event like this is really second to none. There is always so much to learn from other attendees.

I was really grateful for the opportunity to discuss targeted goat grazing and showcase my herd grazing a large patch of sericea lespedeza.

The weather was better than we could have ever hoped for and there was even a comment or two that a jacket would have been nice. To top it off, the much needed rain held off just long enough for the tour to wrap up and attendees to be on their way home.

The next Kansas Farmers Union International Year of the Woman Farmer tour is scheduled for Oct. 14th right down the road at Riley, KS. Check out their page for more info!
