SUMMARY:Women on the Range Roots & Ranching Road Show - Stop 1\, Winner\, SD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the WOTR Roots & Ranching Road Show where the next generation of producers meets the power of possibility — a road show for those still learning\, still trying\, and brave enough to try something new. The Road Show is highlighting early career producers who have gotten their boots dirty\, are learning by doing\, and who have sometimes failed forward – and they want to share what they’ve learned\, and how they’ve navigated learning together as a couple and young family. \nStop 1 will feature Bart and Sarah Svoboda of the Sweetheart Ranch near Winner\, SD. Bart and Sarah focus on healthy soil\, healthy cows\, and a happy family by practicing and implementing adaptive grazing\, cover crops\, low stress cattle handling\, and giving grace to mental wellness. At this stop\, we will specifically focus on rangeland soils – soil texturing\, soil tests\, the importance of pore space\, and grazing effectively on different soil types. \nContacts: Krista Ehlert\, krista.ehlert@sdstate.edu or Kaylee Wheeler\, kaylee.wheeler@sdstate.edu
