Capturing More Water on Every Acre
“As graziers, there are many factors that influence the success of our operations we cannot control (weather, markets, government policy, etc.). I often remember my grandmother saying “well you can’t control the weather” as she reflected on current weather events. She is correct in that we cannot control the amount of water falling from the sky. However, with good grazing management, we can ensure that more of this moisture enters our soil and is retained for plant growth.” Johnny R. Rogers, Amazing Grazing Program Coordinator, describes the strategies he uses to capture water in pastures in one of the driest areas east of the Mississippi River.
