Twilight Pasture Walk

The Darke County Pasture Walk offers a unique opportunity to learn more about grazing. The June 19th educational program will be held at the farm of Michael and Dixie Thompson located at 7357 New Madison-Coletown Rd. Greenville, OH (from Greenville take SR 571 West towards Union City.  Turn left on Wagner Rd. then turn left on New Madison-Coletown Rd.).  The program will start at 6:30 p.m. and is open to all farmers working with any species of grazing animals.

  Bob Hendershot, State Grassland Conservationist for NRCS, will lead the pasture walk, examining forage species and weeds. His comments on forage nutrient requirements, grazing paddock layout and harvest management will benefit all who attend.

  Once again, anyone who grazes beef or dairy cattle, sheep, goats, horses or other animals are welcome to come, ask questions and offer their ideas. Please register by calling the Darke County OSU Extension Office at 937 548-5215 or email foster.99@osu.edu  prior to June 19th.
