Oregon Management-Intensive Grazing Workshops

To Those with MIG interest!

It is nice to have the forage network back up again....

Oregon is sponsoring two Management-Intensive Grazing Workshops in 
May (May 13 & 14 in Remond, Oregon and May 15 & 16 in Eugene, 
Oregon).  The Redmond Workshop will be held at the Deshcutes County 
Fairgrounds and the Eugene workshop will be held at the Red Lion Inn. 
 Starts at 10:00 a.m. and runs till 5:00 p.m. on the first day and 
runs from 9:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. (may finish earlier).

Jim Gerrish from the University of Missouri will highlight the 
workshop.  Tom Griggs from the U. of Idaho will also be making 
presentations.  Other speakers will be John Buckhouse, Randy Dovel, 
John Hart, Willie Riggs, Mylen Bohle, Jay Carr, Don Hansen, Marshall 
English, Alan Mitchell, Rod Todd, and four producers - Glen 
Hudspeth, Gail Foster, Randy Warnock, and Dave Peterson.  We have patterned the 
workshop somewhat after the Wyoming workshop held in November, 1996,
 which was very successful.

East Side Topics to be covered include:
Concepts of Managment-Intensive Grazing
Physiological Basis of Grazing Managment
Soil Fertility and Pasture Fertilization
Irrigation Management
Grass Varieities for Pasture and Hay
Matching Forage and Livestock Resources
Pasture and COARC Tour (let us know if attending)
Livestock Health Considerations with MIG
Environmentally REsponsible GRazing Managment for Riparian Areas
Economics of MIG
Layout and Design of GRazing Systems
Producer Panel
Panel Discussion with all Speaker 

The workshop will be the same with two exceptions:  There is an 
irrigation presentation for the Redmond workshop and that will be 
replaced with a lime study on Pastures and T-Sum 200 talk.  The 
Redmond workshop will hold a first day evening mini tour to one ranch and 
experiment station to look at 24 irrigated grasses and 65 dryland 
gasses and legumes.

Cost is $70 per person and $120 per couple, includes lunches, manual, 
and materials.  

I have placed an attachment with this.  There is a registration form

This should be an excellent workshop.  Mid May is a hard time to get 
away for two days, but, what you learn, you can take home put it to 
practice the very next day.
