We plan to share current resources from time to time – both in regard to land access and also land stewardship practices. Here are a couple webinars from the past months that are worth watching:
1. Conservation and Farmland Leasing: Issues for Non-Operating Landowners – The Illinois Soybean Association and presenter, Gary Schnitkey brings the basics and trends of leasing in Illinois, benefits and barriers of conservation practices like cover crops, and introduces helpful tools that the U of I Extension offers to facilitate conservation practices in lease agreements.
2. Steve Kenyon Video on Grazing – This webinar by Grassworks is packed with information. If you have livestock or are considering grazing, Steve breaks down the soil biology and true regenerative relationship that properly managed grazing animals have with the land.
