PasturePros

Several years ago I began implementing new management practices on how my pastures are managed and my farm animals are fed. Previously animals were allowed to selectively graze, free-range pastures. This practice was so inefficient and compromising to our environment that my conscience forced me to consider alternatives. 

Some of my own innovative ideas created a completely different approach to "grazing" pastures. I now "graze" pastures using alternative methods along with utilizing innovative machinery. The benefits I discovered were so impressive that once my states Department of Agriculture and the Forage Research Center learned of my practices, they suggested I would revolutionize the agricultural industry.

Along with the Missouri Department of Agriculture, and the Missouri Forage Research Center, my states Soil and Water Conservation Department agreed I should pursue implementation. I was told my revolutionary ideas would increase the quality of our rivers and streams. They also agree implementing my practices will eliminate applying hazardous chemicals in our soils to combat unwanted vegetation. This, all natural, approach is the key to cleaner rivers and streams and a healthier environment for future generations.

As well as the advantages mentioned, my revolutionary ideas created the ability to feed three times more livestock from the same acreage. This tremendous increase in production allows us to maximize our resources and livestock producers can now earn significantly more money. Which equates to profitability.

My innovative techniques and machinery also increases the quality of forage to a level of nutritional value that increases the profitability beyond expectations, therefore creating a larger profit margin.

In addition to feeding more livestock per acre and the ability to capture forage at its peak nutritional value, I am also able to preserve it for later consumption. Which is the biggest financial advantage. Supplemental feeds during winter months is one of the most expensive cost of raising livestock. Because we have created a shelf life for green grass, little to no extra expense to feed supplements is necessary to sustain a healthy herd. This means, not only a financial breakthrough, but could potentially be a deciding factor in profit or loss.

I am wanting to turn my personal practices into a lucrative business and ultimately take my practices nationally. To do this I need to purchase materials and equipment that exceeds my current funding capabilities. Therefore, I am asking for your support in taking advantage of this tremendous opportunity to utilize our resources more efficiently while earning more money than can be done independently. Together, we will revolutionize the agricultural industry,  protect our environment and trigger the imaginable to become reality.

 

 

My name is Kevin Green. I was born and raised farming and ranching. I grew up feeding livestock and growing crops. As far back into my family history we have always been intertwined in the agricultural industry. I began harvesting forage to feed livestock at the age of eight.

As an adult I have owned and operated multiple agricultural businesses. The core of my interest has always been livestock and the feeding of livestock.

This interest has driven me to find innovative ways to continue feeding livestock in an economically challenging environment. Because of the financial challenges farmers and ranchers face, we are constantly seeking new opportunities to improve profit margins to our favor.

In my pursuit to become more efficient at converting my pastures into profits, I determined machinery was far more efficient than livestock. I also realized I needed to find a way to capture nutrients in my pastures for winter feed and create a shelf life for it. I have successfully accomplished both.

The Missouri Department of Agriculture, the Missouri Forage Research Center, the Missouri Department of Soil and Water Conservation, and numerous professors and agronomist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri all agree, I have “reinvented the wheel” and will “revolutionize the agricultural industry” with my groundbreaking inventions and practices.
