Krusen Grass Farms

Consulting

Altfrid Krusenbaum works as a Grazing Specialist on a grant in a six county area in SE Wisconsin (Walworth, Racine, Kenosha, Waukesha, Jefferson and Rock).

Outside this area he works on a self-employed basis. He is an NRCS certified Grazing Planner and can help you design your grazing system, trouble shoot problems you are experiencing and help you reach the goals you have for grazing livestock. An initial farm visit outside the six county area would be $ 250 plus $1 per mile traveled. It includes a visit and in depth assessment of your operation and a follow-up letter. The development of a grazing plan is on an hourly basis.
