Producers will have a chance to learn how they can sustainably improve their pastures during the Kentucky Grazing Conference scheduled for next week in Princeton.
The program on Tuesday, October 26 at the University of Kentucky Research and Education Center is a joint effort of the Kentucky Forage and Grassland Council, the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, and the UK Master Grazer Program.
Caldwell County Extension Agent for Agriculture Shane Bogle says there will be a lot of information packed into one day.
