Subject: workshop
NCAT/ATTRA (Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas) will
offer two sustainable beef management workshops in 1997. The first
will be September 23-25 in collaboration with the University of
Missouri Forage Systems Research Center at Linneus, MO. The second
will be October 7-9 at the University of Tennessee Highland Rim
Experiment Station in Springfield, TN. These workshops are designed
to acquaint producers and educators with comprehensive farm planning
by planning livestock programs to minimize the use of harvested
forages and grain while increasing the dependence upon properly
managed pastures. This will include instruction in using
sustainability indicators that can assist farmers in assessment of
their operations. Attendees should have some understanding and/or
experience in controlled grazing. For further information or to be
placed on the list to receive registration forms when available, call
Ron Morrow or Ann Wells at ATTRA (1-800-346-9140), Forage Systems
Research Center (816-895-5121) or Highland Rim Experiment Station
(615-382-3130). The material presented in the workshops will be a
continuation of the Missouri grazing management workshops and will
feature research results from each of the centers as well as
information available through ATTRA. The information is designed for
producers, extension agents and NRCS personnel interested in
comprehensive planning of farms where beef cattle are the primary
enterprise.
