SUMMARY:Profitable Pastures: Getting Started on Rotational Grazing (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for the 2024 Profitable Pastures webinar series! The Ontario Forage Network has three excellent speakers lined up to help you get the most out of your pasture. This year’s webinars will take place from 8:00 pm until 9:00 pm Eastern time on March 5th\, 6th\, and 7th. \nTuesday\, March 5\, 2024\nGetting Started on Rotational Grazing with Joe Dickenson \nThere is a lot of emphasis on rotational grazing right now. Everyone is talking about the environmental and production benefits that rotational grazing can bring to a farm. While conversations are ongoing around how to improve an existing rotational system\, it can be hard to find information on how to start. Joe’s talk aims to address that gap. \nFor more information or to register\, visit https://onforagenetwork.ca/ontario-forage-council/profitable-pastures/  \nNote: These sessions must be attended live in order to qualify as a Knowledge Sharing Event.
