Rotational Grazing Pasture Walk “Planning Even In A Drought”
Friday, September 30th, 2016 at 5:00PM, welcome to drop in later if that works better for you. Maple Terrace Farm, John and Jackie Wickham, 2391 Co Rd 10 Alpine, NY 14805. (Please watch for signs) Please join us and the Tri-County Graziers for a twilight pasture walk to see how the Wickham’s utilize all resources available to them, to plan intensive rotational grazing on their farm, even in drought conditions. The goal of the Wickham’s is to raise totally grass fed and fattened animals with the objective to have their animals gain at least 2 1/2 lbs., minimal per day, including the winter months. The Wickham’s also have a handling facility that will be shown, as twilight closes in. This pasture walk will take place rain or shine, and is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required, but questions may be referred to Schuyler County Soil and Water Conservation District at 607-535-0878 or by email: [email protected]. Sponsored by Schuyler County Soil and Water Conservation District, with support by Steuben County Soil and Water Conservation District, The Upper Susquehanna Coalition and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schuyler and Steuben Counties.
