Agenda; (CST)
5:15-9:30 – Check in and gather

Prairie; conventional till; long-term no-till, high diversity rotation. Very visual, noticeable for anyone
9:45-10:45 – Cattle (Sentinel recommendations on this land from last year)
Move 300 head, maybe a little walk, couple hundred yards, forage on grasses, approaching oats, summer forages more depleted.
10:45-11:30 – Tech in the field
Drone-seeded field, kids run the drones. Off to college but hoping one can make it back and do a demo. Applies biologicals with it as well
