Pasture Forage Management Webinar

NDSU and UMN Extension are hosting the webinar.

Ryan Lermon, U of M Extension Educator, will teach attendees how to measure standing forage and share some management strategies on how to get the most forage out of your pastures.   

Lermon will demonstrate how to calculate the amount of standing forage available in a pasture for livestock to consume, or to make hay if needed for an operation.

Being able to figure out just how much forage is available in a pasture, at any point in time, is critical for summer grazing. Managing stocking densities, pasture rotation, and planning for extreme weather events, such as drought, can be applied to all livestock species. 

Travis Hoffman, NDSU/UMN Extension Sheep Specialist, says that with grazing season around the corner with drought challenges, it's important to monitor monitor pasture forage levels to prevent overgrazing. We will show how to start the season strong with best management grazing practices that can boost production and potentially prolong the grazing period.

Farmers, 4-Hers, ag business professionals who work with farmers, and those interested in goats or sheep are invited to attend. 

Pre-registration is required. The Zoom link will be emailed to you immediately after you register. If you are unable to attend the live session and have pre-registered, you will receive the recording via email.
