As farmers, we often look at cropland and grassland as separate parts of our farms. Doug Peterson would argue that they are inter-related through livestock. Using a simple approach, Doug breaks down the numbers to analyze the economics of fitting cover crops into our grazing programs. If you have grazing animals on your farm or you are interested in diversifying, you will not want to miss this one.

The 2022 Winter Workshop series will begin on January 27th with Doug Peterson, a top-notch speaker and educator. Doug retired from NRCS after 32 years working as a soil health specialist, a grassland specialist, and a soil scientist. He is currently a consultant with Understanding Ag, combining his NRCS training with 25 years of experience managing his own 250-head cow/calf herd in Northern Missouri.

Pizza for the first forty people will be served at noon with the presentation immediately following.

The series will continue through February and into March with speakers and panelists offering insight into farming and ranching practices that will improve your operation.
