This educational program assists forage producers in making decisions on managing pastures and hay ground. Topics include using maps to determine physical soil properties, estimate current and potential production, and form management units. This information is then used to take soil samples for fertility testing and to make agronomic, and economic input decisions. Part of this process includes the option of selecting to focus work on your best field first. This can help producers prioritize funding for inputs and time spent on multiple fields. At the completion of the program custom reports will be provided which will be useful in future classes and consultations on forage production and management.
- The class is scheduled to occur in three or four sessions including an introductory presentation viewed in real time or as a recording, supplemental information to be reviewed on the participants’ own time, work session(s) as a group or one-on-one with the instructors, and a presentation on cost-share programs for agricultural fields.
- No refunds. Join upcoming classes at no additional charge
- Repeats twice yearly (Summer and Winter)
