Heart of America Grazing Conference

Forages, grazing techniques and pasture management will be topics covered during the Heart of America Grazing Conference, January 25-26 at the Holiday Inn Hurstbourne in Louisville, Kentucky.

Each year the conference rotates between Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky and features speakers from the five states.

Jeff McCutcheon, an OSU Extension educator, will present information on grazing non-traditional forages, such as brassicas, chicory, eastern gamagrass, ryegrass and oats.

Other presenters include specialists from University of Kentucky, Purdue University, University of Illinois, USDA, industry representatives and producers. Topics being covered include extending the grazing season, co-species grazing, integrated weed management, management-intensive grazing, organic dairying, tall fescue, and pasture management.
