Wisconsin Farmers Union, in partnership with Pheasants Forever, will host Women Caring for the Land workshops around the state this summer. These events are geared toward women farmers or landowners who are interested in learning more about conservation. Each session includes a potluck lunch, networking and an afternoon tour of the host farm.
On August 14th, 2018 the workshop will be held at Buser Cattle Company in Omro, WI. Katie Kopina Buser and her husband John Buser own Buser Cattle Company, an operation primarily focused on grazing beef cattle. They utilize own 90 acres and neighboring pastures in conservation with the DNR and are putting practices to work that they learned working on several large cattle operations out west.
The event will kick off with coffee and networking. Lunch is a potluck (main dish provided) so bring a dish to pass. Please dress for walking in pastures.
