Ohio State University Extension and Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center educators are holding a series of rotational grazing workshops for livestock producers who are looking to improve the forage quality of their pastures, grow healthier forage plants and improve plant persistence.
The March 29 workshop will focus on several management issues, all designed to help producers increase production and reduce costs. It will be held 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Barnesville Library Annex, 611 N. Chestnut St. in Barnesville.
Topics will include:
* Reducing grass tetany and bloat.
* U.S. Department Of Agriculture programs at work.
* Your grazing management plan.
* Financial assistance.
* Body condition scoring.
The other workshops are April 5, 5:30-9 p.m., at the Monroe County Extension Office, 101 N. Main St. Room 17, in Woodsfield and April 12, 5:30-9 p.m., at the Eastern Agricultural Research Station, 16870 Township Road 126, in Belle Valley.
