Pasture Can Be Profitable

Grass-based meat and dairy products are in demand. Consumers are hungry for nutritious, hormone-free meat and milk from pastured livestock, which means that farmers and ranchers can reap the financial rewards of pasture production – with the right approach.

Farmer and rancher Dale Stricker's straighforward methods for profitable pasture management will revolutionize how you see your grasslands, with detailed guidance on fencing and grazing strategies, planting for native grass growth, and more. Beyond financial gains, producers will discover long-term environmental benefits, including improved water quality, carbon sequestration, and habitat for diverse wildlife and pollinators. The end result is a profitable, sustainable grass-based operation that is good for the pasture and the planet.
