Farmers, 4-H members, ag business professionals who work with farmers, and those interested in beef cows are invited to attend.
May 27: Extending the grazing season
Topics: Options to extend the grazing season through practices such as grazing cover crops and crop residues, use of stockpiled forages, perennial grass, standing corn, and millet.
We’ll also discuss soil fertility recycling, improving forage utilization, how to use perennial grass to improve grazing distribution and considerations for water access and fencing within crop fields.
