Livestock producers who want to learn about optimizing forage and livestock production while conserving natural resources are invited to attend the Greenhorn Grazing series at the Iowa State University McNay Research Farm near Chariton this summer and fall. ISU Extension and Outreach beef specialist Joe Sellers said the series has been a popular management course for producers over the years.
“This five-part series covers concepts relevant to all producers of grass-based livestock with topics ranging from managing grass growth and plant diversity to watering alternatives, cost share programs and pasture leases, and optimizing winter grazing,” Sellers said. “There are no repeated topics and each of the five sessions will be half classroom setting and half in the field, primarily in the McNay Farm pastures.” For more, please click here.
