On Thursday, June 17, the Rolling Prairie Extension in Sedan will host a Pasture and Wildflower Tour.  The tour will leave the courthouse at 5:30 p.m. and visit four pastures north of Sedan.

Two of the pastures have had chemical weed control done in the past two years.  Guests will be able to see the differences between products used and the weeds and woody species that were controlled.  At the other stops, we will  “measure” forage that is available for grazing and discuss the amount that is required for different sizes of animals.
