Registration Deadline Looms for Annual DuBois Grazing Conference
Pennsylvania Ag Connection - 02/19/2010

There is still time to register for the 13th annual Northwest Pennsylvania Grazing Conference, to be held on March 16 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Tri-County Church in Dubois. Whether you are new to grazing or a seasoned veteran, this year's program offers something for everyone. For example, you will learn different ways to direct market agricultural products, discover the benefits of multi-species grazing, hear what an experienced meat processor has to say about maximizing yield from a grass-fed carcass and see if a renewable energy watering system is right for you.

The conference agenda features knowledgeable and experienced producers from right here in Pennsylvania. The keynote speaker, John Hopkins, is co-owner and operator of the very successful Forks Farm and Forks Farm Market in Columbia County. Breakout sessions during the remainder of the conference are designed to address a wide variety of grazing-related topics.

The registration fee to attend is $25 per person and includes a continental breakfast and hot buffet lunch. Pre-registration is required by March 1. Conference information can be downloaded from the Headwaters Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) website at www.headwaterspa.org.
