This program is designed for producers and agricultural professionals to learn the newest fencing methods and sound fencing construction through a combination of classroom and hands-on learning. 

As the solar grazing world continues to evolve, cattle are becoming an increasingly important part of the conversation, offering new opportunities for land use on solar sites.

This program is designed for producers and agricultural professionals to learn the newest fencing methods and sound fencing construction through a combination of classroom and hands-on learning. 

Pasture Nutrient Management: Join us for a discussion on pasture fertility management and how virtual fencing might be a tool for improved nutrient distribution. 

Grow and Graze is designed to connect producers to peers and experts who have successfully implemented grazing strategies. We’re creating a space where producers can share what’s working in their grazing systems and help one another make more informed, profitable decisions.

Thinking about expanding your livestock operation? Curious about the benefits of adding sheep or goats to your grazing system? Join the National Grazing Lands Coalition for an insightful webinar, Adding Small Ruminants to Your Operation.

Intensive Grazing on Perennial Systems: During this session we will talk about the opportunity for virtual fencing in perennial pastures. Learn about intensive grazing management techniques in relation to forage availability. 

Enhance forage-livestock operations sustainability and resilience against extreme weather conditions.

Time to check your preparedness and aftermath strategies to enhance the resilience of your forage and livestock systems to extreme weather events.

Join us for a FREE Pasture Walk to see a cow-calf grazing operation that incorporates annual forages and winter feeding to improve soil health.

Opportunities for Grazing on Cropland: Learn about potential species to plant, when to plant them, and how to use virtual fencing to best take advantage of those forage sources.

Agrivoltaics, or agriculture production underneath solar panels, involves the use of land for both solar energy production and livestock grazing or crop production.

When you nurture your pastures, you enhance animal health and reduce costs. That’s the lesson you’ll learn at the Fresh Pasture Farms Pasture Walk from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9.

Livestock management practices impact your profit, your soil, and your water. An all-star lineup will include researchers from University of Illinois College of ACES and Illinois Extension.
