Mt. Vernon will play host to the 2021 Heart of America Grazing Conference next month. Cliff Schuette (SHOOT-E) Chairman of the Illinois Grazing Lands Coalition says although the event is designed for livestock farmers, the general public could learn a lot from the 8 different guest speakers and discussion panel.
The event is Aug. 10 and 11. The featured speaker, Greg Judy, is a Regenerative Rancher. He along with his wife, Jan, operates Green Pastures Farm in Rucker, Missouri. Their grazing operation includes 16 farms, four owned and 12 leased.
