Living on the Land Series for Managing
Your Rural Property or Small Farm
Do you dream of owning acreage in the country? Do
you have an existing farm that is in need of a plan and
strategies for the best possible results?
The Living on the Land workshops, offered by University of Minnesota Extension, will equip you with the
education and resources to be successful.
The eight-week course is designed to provide rural
landowners with information and resources to enable
them to be good stewards of their land. The course will
begin with goal-setting and individual property inventory, then address soil, plant, water and animal management basics.
The Living on the Land curriculum addresses a growing need for information regarding small acreages. The
series incorporates knowledge and experience from a
team of instructors to address topics including: what do
you have and what do you want, what you can do with
your land, protecting water quality, what to do about
weeds, pasture management, getting down and dirty with
soils, and caring for and managing your animals. The series also includes several farm tours.
The series will be taught by Extension educators, farm-
