SUMMARY:Building Better Pastures and Hay Fields: Soil Health\, Grazing\, and Forage Improvement
DESCRIPTION:Title: Building Better Pastures and Hay Fields: Soil Health\, Grazing\, and Forage Improvement \nDate: Tuesday\, August 25th\, 3-6:30 PM \nLocation: Kinne Brook Farm\, 481 Kinne Brook Rd\, Worthington \nLink: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/building-better-pastures-and-hay-fields-soil-health-grazing-and-forage-improvement \nJoin staff from American Farmland Trust and the Hampden-Hampshire Conservation District at Kinne Brook Farm to learn strategies for improving pasture and hay field productivity. We will learn how to evaluate the health and productivity of pasture and hay fields and address common challenges such as soil pH imbalances\, biology limitations\, compaction\, and undesirable plant species. We will cover approaches to reseeding and overseeding pastures\, planning rotational grazing systems\, managing rest periods\, and using soil and forage testing to make informed management decisions\, and will discuss the USDA NRCS Pasture Condition Score (PCS) system. \nKinne Brook Farm is a diversified family farm that raises Highland cattle for beef and focuses on regenerative land stewardship and implementing management-intensive rotational grazing and silvopasture practices. \nFood and beverages will be provided. Please register so that we know how many people to expect. We look forward to seeing you there!
