Beyond the Basics
Are you disappointed with your pastures? Are
the weeds and clover taking over? Do you want to
reduce your hay and grain bill? Then our
Advanced Horse Pasture Management Seminar
is right for you!
This seminar is an excellent opportunity to learn
how to maximize your
use of pasture for improved farm income,
better horse health, and
better stewardship of the
land.
Participants will delve deeper into the complexity
of soil types and how it affects grass growth.
We’ll give you tips for buying the right lime and
fertilizer for your pastures. You’ll learn about
new discoveries in pasture carbohydrates. Different weed issues will be discussed and how you
can best knock them out.
Join us as we go beyond the basics to
decode the science behind pasture
production!
Time: 8:30 am—4:00 pm
“The seminar was absolutely worthwhile. I
am beginning to set up my farmette and the
knowledge I gained from the seminar will
help me tremendously. THANK YOU!”
“We left with lots of good ideas.”
