BIO DYNAMIC PASTURE MANAGEMENT – MAKING THE BEST OF EVERY SITUATION

Participants will learn pasture observation, when to graze, and best times to apply which Biodynamic sprays and preparations – understanding the preparations and their effect on pasture plants.

The objective is for practicing farmers to be able to produce optimum quantity and quality products from healthy cows and crops.

Although the focus is on pasture management, the discussion will be beneficial for those intercropping and anyone who uses/intends to use cow manure or grazing as part of their farming practices.

An attendance list, including e-mails, will allow for questions and discussion post this event.
