    Description and historical use of land available for farming

    500+ acres available south of Wasa for grazing. Looking for someone to follow a rotational grazing plan on our land for the next few years. Depending on agreement happy to assist in moving animals. Looking for someone who is interested in using most of our land for the next 1-2 years possibly longer. Open to smaller land needs as well, we may be open to longer arrangements for smaller portions. Currently we've just purchased 500 acres and are in the process of fencing and building infrastructure. Because we're quite busy doing this we don't have a ton of time to manage our own farming interests just yet.

    Long-term goal or vision for land

    We'd love to use rotational grazing to boost the soil health and diversity of the land. As its previously logged there is years of cleanup and chores so always moving towards a cleaner space is the goal!
