September 20 Pasture Walks

Chad Peterson, Atkinson

Randy Shinn, Atkinson

We have a new structure for this years pasture walks!  We have hired Greyhound buses so everyone can visit and network more.  The buses will leave from the hotel at 7:30 am and return around 6 pm.  The cost of the bus ride and sack lunch that we will provide is $40 per person.  To make good use of this time we will also have a short presentation on both buses.  This will keep everyone safe and allow you to make the best use of your time.

If you do not want to ride the bus but would like to participate in the boxed lunch, that is fine as well.  The box lunch will be $10 and you will need to reserve your lunch  ahead of time so we can make sure we have enough for each of you.  If you want to go on the tours but are not interested in joining the others on the bus and are bringing your own lunch, then of course the walk itself is free.  Feel free to send an email or call with any question about the up coming pasture walks or conference and we will be glad to clarify or explain.
