Join staff from the UVM Center for Sustainable Agriculture's Pasture and Farming & Climate Change programs to spend a day on a diversified, grass-based farm in Charlotte in northwestern Vermont.
The day will feature:
(1) Grazing research (cover crops for soil health and animal performance; forage production and quality of semi-shaded forages, heat stress and animal behavior and comfort, including a discussion with the Center for Sustainable Agriculture's Joshua Faulkner on the woodchip heavy-use area in place on the farm).
(2) Soil health demonstration (Cornell Cooperative Extension educator Fay Benson will bring a “soil health trailer” and other tools to demonstrate soil health, water infiltration and runoff of different crops, included well-managed pastures and the Center for Sustainable Agriculture's Juan Alvez will talk about his CIG Compaction project.
(3) A pasture walk with noted grazing expert and consultant Jim Gerrish.
