Hello and good morning everybody,
Please join us tomorrow for our next webinar called Tall Grass Grazing: Transitioning Off of Nitrogen Fertilizer. Presenter Dave Scott with NCAT/ATTRA will detail the how to’s of tall grass grazing, the combined economic benefits, and some challenges that may be encountered.
Tall Grass Grazing: Transition Off of N Fertilizer
Wednesday, October 16 @ 6pm Eastern
Tall Grass Grazing permits a life without Nitrogen fertilizer and the opportunity to work with nature instead of shoving her aside with inputs. The result is plenty of grass, a better bottom line, and more time for you and your family. Our presenter is Dave Scott, Livestock Specialist with NCAT/ATTRA. Dave and his wife Jenny run 200 Polypay ewes and their lambs on 32 irrigated acres in Southwest Montana. > Register
