Pastures Bloom with Healthier Cattle, Wildflowers

From the kitchen table to the boardroom table, USDA brings people together across the nation for: healthier food, natural resources, and people; a stronger agricultural industry; and economic growth, jobs, and innovation. Each Friday, meet those farmers, producers, and landowners through our #FridaysOnTheFarm stories. Visit local farms, ranches, forests, and resource areas where USDA customers and partners do right and feed everyone.

This Friday, we’re headed to Aberdeen, South Dakota, where Lance Vilhauer jokes he’ll take up floristry if his cattle business doesn’t work.

 

 

 

His pastures – thanks to the use of rotational grazing – are teeming with biodiversity, which is good for his cattle and wildlife.
