This is a beetle conservation district on about 400 acres here. They've got piece of ground they're able to take possession of a little over 20 years ago, 25 years ago. Everything you're looking at was at one point, I'm actually irrigated crop land. I took it, they got rid of the irrigation units and see this back to mostly native warm season mix. They do have some native cool seasons, they're also but it's predominantly a warm season mix. They lease it to a young producer, a young producer in the county, runs his livestock out here. Here's several years ago, working with the board. So they had a good opportunity to kind of turn this into a demonstration, demonstration farm or production farm where we want to call it. So, working with the producer, we came up with a way to kind of do some different grazing management out here. It was just divided into three large units and now we've got it divided into about 13 separate units. So there's a lot more movement of the livestock out here. We've got some cells that are more of our traditional rotation and then we've got some that are a little more intense so it's a high hoof count for our short duration. Our goal about here is really just to demonstrate to the producers showing them that a lot of this stuff can work and actually it's beneficial for your pocketbook too. You can actually maybe increase your herd percentage out here, have a few more livestock out here and still have more grass. So yeah, we've found this area several times with fence. We use the old irrigation well to provide water. So we've piped in several thousand feet of water pipeline out here, put in some tanks, centralized all the tanks. Just a lot of some flexibility if we ever want to throw some hot wires or electric fence out here to increase your management. I do a lot of monitoring out here to keep track of what we're trying to do if we're actually accomplishing that or if we need to change our management or look at things differently. We've got more of a range on specialist that's out here every couple of weeks during the grazing season. He's checking for our forage production and just the plant committee out there for what we're trying to accomplish if we're seeing more of something or less than another. What we're going up on right now is we call this our soil health plot. It's just a small ten acre field that was previously managed just for a food plot you know it should be sorghum or corn and just not a lot of fertilizer to it. Very little fertility added and then they would just get under in the spring. Here several years ago we just turned this into our no tail soil health demonstration. And so our call out here is a couple of things. A lot of soil tests out here so we collect a lot of data. And so actually over the past course of the past four years we've taken the organic matter percentage from just under 3% to right now we're at 3.9 almost 4%. So that's a pretty quick turn around that's even faster than I would imagine we could go up 1 percentage point for organic matter. It's obviously no tail. We throw some type of cover crop out here no matter what the what the commodity crop is out here we intercede into corn. We follow a small grain crop out here with cover crops harvested immediately come back in with a cover crop mix. Even last year we had soybeans and we did some cereal rye with some clover in it that came up in the fall and then over winter and I came to spring. In the spring we let the cereal rye come up and it was really dry we just didn't catch any rain in the spring. So we terminated the cereal rye and our intent was to follow with the row crop but we were just so dry we didn't think we were going to have good luck. So we changed our change of management change our thoughts and we just put a pretty diverse mix of cover crops out here we got about 16 different species out here most of what you're seeing is the millet but there's a lot going on out there. So the district's owner for 20-25 years but really we just started implementing a lot of this this grazing system we started installing the fencing and water lines here just a couple years ago and this is the first year we were able to fully implement it as designed. The crop land stuff with the salinity plot and the soil health plot this is our fifth year of doing that okay. So really not I haven't been really doing it too long out here but we're already seeing some things that have turned around even faster than I would have hoped. You know there were organic matter percentage on one out there is one example. Starting to restore or reclaim some of these saline spots is is definitely one area where I think I'm pretty realistic in the time frame I know those areas didn't form overnight so we're not going to get rid of them overnight but I certainly think it's realistic where producers can do something like this and get some pretty decent production off in a couple years. You know I think the part that excites me most about what the district has what they're land out here is that we can use this as an opportunity to show producers that this stuff worked that what we're trying to sell it works. You know we're not just outs selling conservation just to sell conservation. We're actually showing this stuff can work it can it can be good for your land it can be good for your pocket book you know and in the end those two two things you pocket book and in the land improving on both of the improvements on the land is going to improve both and I'm hoping that producers are as they come and we give you know one on one twoers out here they come to our field events or our tours they can see some of this stuff it draws a lot of interest. Whenever we take someone out here we've got tours out here it always over the next couple weeks well lots of questions you know what was in that mix again or what you do here again you know I want to try this on one of my quarters so really we're seeing improvements and what we're doing out here to be honest some things don't always work you know but that's part of learning to and I'd rather have us do something out here and not work that way we can tell someone that's making a living out there in the land don't do this because it doesn't end up working or do this or hey we have great success with this maybe this is something you should look at for your operation. Our producers can see this and they can take it down to their operation and make it work and then their neighbor says hey what'd you do over there you know why are you doing that and they talk with their neighbor and you know and I just kind of open it has that ripple effect and you just drop that rock in the pond and the wave is kind of keeps going out and I also excites me most of the thing is that guys can they can make this work on their operation and it's not just the conservation guy telling you to do this because he likes conservation.
