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 April 5 workshop will focus on several management issues, all designed to help producers increase production and reduce costs. It will be held 5:30-9 p.m. at the Monroe County Extension Office, 101 N. Main St. Room 17, in Woodsfield.
Topics will include:
* System layout and design.
* Forages and moisture testing.
* Planned calving.
The other workshops are March 29, 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Barnesville Library Annex, 611 N. Chestnut St. in Barnesville and April 12, 5:30-9 p.m., at the Eastern Agricultural Research Station, 16870 Township Road 126, in Belle Valley.
Registration for all three workshops is $45, which includes dinner, notebook and handouts, or $15, which includes dinner but not materials. The deadline to register for the workshops is at least two days before each session.
