About this event
Join us on June 17 at Tim and Martha Magnant's farm in Franklin to discuss and explore options and opportunities for feeding a high forage diet. We will discuss harvest management and storage, soil fertility management, and species selection to achieve high forage quality. We will look at equipment options for forage seeding and will walk through calibrating a grain drill. Nutritionist Patrice Vincent and Kurt Cotanch will join us and share tips and considerations for successfully feeding more homegrown forages.
Water provided. Bring your own lunch or enjoy a hamburger with us when done.
