Hi, my name is Chris Stelzer and I’ve spent the past 2 years of my life learning from the most innovative ranchers in the world. I did an internship with Greg Judy in Missouri and then went to South Africa to do another internship with Ian Mitchell-Innes. Both of these ranchers are experienced high density graziers and always experimenting. I share everything I learned during this time with you in The Grazing Book.
This is the kind of book to get into the hands of beginners to understand the basics. This will get them primed to go farther. -Chip Hines, Colorado Rancher
Chris has done an excellent job at introducing concepts involved in learning the art of grazing. He doesn’t pretend to tell anyone exactly how to manage, because that is impossible. Different areas on the same ranch may need to be managed differently, and management varies considerably with the area of the country and yearly climate changes. Learning and exploring the concepts in Chris’ books will give you a significant boost in your own grazing program. Observe, question, experiment, and keep learning. -Gary Howie, South Dakota Rancher
We live in interesting times. The growth in world population is producing a demand for more food. Yet, more than ever before, farmers are abandoning the land. Not because they dislike the lifestyle, but because farming is no longer financially viable. If this does not turn around, predictably huge social disruption will follow. I am new to farming, having spent many years in the practice of medicine. From the outset, I knew that unless one can significantly reduce farm input costs without compromising quality or quantity of produce, I too will join the ever increasing group of ex-farmers.
In medicine I spent my life reading scientific journals and attending conferences. Through this medium of education, I have on more than one occasion been persuaded to change my paradigm on certain issues. I know that there is a knowledge to success. I know that commercial farming is not the answer. My question when I began farming was: “ where can I find the information that will allow me to farm sustainably and help me beat the odds?”
I stumbled on www.agriculturalinsights.com by chance. Chris Stelzer has a fresh approach, based not on theory, but on tried and tested methods. His website is packed with hugely interesting podcasts, all very relevant to those seeking to not only farm profitably, but also be environmentally responsible. The content is appropriate to guide new farmers like me as well as coach more experienced farmers into practices that will help keep them on the land.
‘How to grow more forage and increase profits’ is the subject of “The Grazing Book” Chris Stelzer, discusses a decision making process known as Holistic Management. Harnessing nature’s ecosystems incurs no cost. Farmlands become drought resistant. Soils become biologically active and deliver a bio diverse nutrient dense pasture. Animals that graze on these pastures, demonstrate better health, excellent fertility and good weight gain. It stands to reason that humans who consume the meat and milk from these animals can themselves expect better health. Who wouldn’t want to be part of that?
Chris Stelzer has worked as an intern to some of the most experienced and successful practitioners of Holistic Management. He clearly has grasped not only the stepping stones, but also the stumbling blocks. The Grazing Book is jammed with simple practical hints and tips, provided against a background of scientific explanation. His gift to us is that he is able to articulate this priceless information in an easy to read format. His is a handbook that should be mandatory reading for all who wish to farm.
He brings hope to those of us who want to live on the land. His passion is infectious. We are all indeed greatly indebted to this energetic young man who is clearly making a difference.
