If you are a dairy farmer considering incorporating managed grazing in your forage production system, this event is your opportunity to see first-hand how it’s done. Join Green Lands Blue Waters and Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship on August 2nd, at 11:00 a.m., for a pasture walk hosted by Bert and Trish Paris to hear how they made the transition and how their system works. Dairies that include a grazing component are diverse, and there are many pathways to profitability.
