Jim Gerrish, owner of American Grazing Lands, joins Grassroots Carbon for a live webinar after a drought-ridden year across the United States.
Drought resiliency is created by conscientiously managing for a functional water cycle. This requires leaving appropriate post-grazing residual after every grazing event, creating and maintaining a litter layer on the soil surface, and building soil organic matter and biological life. Join Jim as he discusses key management strategies to create drought resilience that include:
1) Matching stocking rate to carrying capacity seasonally and annually.
2) Balancing use and recovery periods.
3) Having a proactive drought response plan that includes destocking triggers.
