Grazing School for Milk Producers - 2010

SEPTEMBER 29 and 30, 2010 | COLQUITT COUNTY EXTENSION OFFICE | MOULTRIE, GEORGIA

For the first time ever, we held a Grazing School specifically for pasture-based dairy producers. Though it was a last minute addition brought on by very high demand for our annual School, the first Grazing School for Milk Producers was a resounding success! Though we operated off of a similar program to the more general Grazing School format, a lot more depth was added so that we could focus on topics and issues that specifically relate to the pasture-based dairies in the Southeast. Below are links to all the materials that were added as an addendum to the 2010 Grazing School notebook and a few other articles and publications that were referred to during the meeting.
