See also: Healthy Soils, Sustainable Human Systems
Rotational grazing, as contrasted to continuous grazing, involves rotating livestock between multiple paddocks or sub-divided pastures. Through having a resting period, forage plants can recover their energy reserves, rebuild vigor, deepen their root systems, and provide long-term maximum production
Topics Include:
- Developing a grazing plan, observing plant recovery, and adaptive management
- Issues and considerations for rotational grazing on small acreage
- Holistic management and objective setting
- Rotational considerations for sheep, goats, chickens & pigs
- NRCS EQIP money and CDFA bolsos replicas Healthy Soils Program grant support of practices
- Soil improvement and carbon sequestration on working lands
The workshop consists of classroom lectures and discussion followed by a ranch tour of Fiesta Farms.
Registration for this meeting is open to all. If you would like to attend, please email Pam Krone at pam.krone@noaa.gov to complete your registration. Registration will close Friday, December 7th at 5 p.m.replica taschen
