Workshop focuses on winter pasture management

This workshop, which is open to the public, is designed to assist agricultural producers in improving their pastures and management skills. “This one-day workshop will help seasoned producers refresh their management skills,” said Hugh Aljoe, consultation program manager. “It will also assist new ranchers in developing proper grazing management strategies to enhance both ecologic and economic sustainability.”

During the workshop, Noble Foundation consultants will discuss and demonstrate how to estimate an initial stocking rate for stockers grazing small grains pastures and how to assess reserve herd days on residual pasture using several applied techniques. In addition, participants will be exposed to the latest Noble Foundation forage systems research.

There is no cost for this event, but pre-registration is requested. For more information or to register, please visit www.noble.org/agevents or contact Maggie Scott at 580.224.6375.
