Four January Workshops Left! Month-Long Workshop Series: Improving Pastured and Free Range Poultry Can't Make the Workshop? Attend the Webinar! In January, the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) and its partners are offering a series of workshops on ways to improve your pastured/free-range poultry operations. The first workshop -- managing pasture for poultry -- began this week, but if you missed it, there's still plenty of good information and conversations left to go! At these workshops, we will have talks, hands-on laboratories, and local farm tours. Each workshop will be unique, and will feature experts in the field and local farmers leading conversations about husbandry, preventative practices, coop design, marketing, profitability, regulations and more! These workshops will be held in Davis, California. Partners in the training include University of California (UC)-Davis, UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE), Center for Last-Based Learning, and USDA-NIFA. All the workshops will begin at 4:30 p.m. and end at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $10 per day or $40 for all five.  The workshops also will be available as webinars for $5 per day. Register and more information: click here If you would like to request a fee waiver, please contact Macie Tanaka at mmta...@ucdavis.edu. We don't want anyone missing out on information because they are unable to afford the course! Course List: Tuesday, January 14: Pastured Poultry Farm Economics and Marketing Wednesday, January 22: Alternative Poultry Species and Animal Welfare Considerations Monday, January 27: Feed and Nutrition for Pastured Poultry Thursday, January 30: Egg Quality and Review of Useful Poultry Production The workshop agenda includes plenty of opportunities for questions and answers as well as networking with new and experienced farmers.
