Grazing consultant Sarah Flack and Cheryl Cesario of UVM Extension will lead a pasture walk with farmer Steve Robinson of Islandacres. Steve and his family are transitioning their 70-cow dairy to management-intensive grazing. They have seeded down 60 acres to perennial pasture as a way to mitigate the risk of annual cropping systems. We will look in-depth at this newly designed system and hear about the benefits and challenges of a transition to grazing. Discussion on grazing topics will be from both the plant&#8217;s and the animal&#8217;s perspective. With help from NRCS funding, this farm is investing in fence, animal trails, and a water system for efficient grazing to maximize the land base. Islandacres has been a top quality milk producer for 30 years with a focus on animal health and production. Come see how they are adopting these new management practices!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/cvcrops\/files\/2018\/05\/Robinson-Grazing-Field-Day.pdf\">Robinson Grazing Field Day &#8211; FLYER<\/a><\/p>\n<p>$20, including lunch provided by NOFA-VT Mobile Pizza Oven<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/go.uvm.edu\/grazingfieldday\">Registration Required.
