Hay prices burning through your dollars?

Learn how to cut down on winter hay-feeding bills by utilizing winter grazing techniques. A “pasture walk” is set for Dec. 16 at 12:30 p.m. in Haywood County at the Mountain Research Station test farm.

Discussion topics include grazing versus feeding hay, the work necessary in moving livestock to take advantage of available grazing areas, which forage types work best for what animals and the financial feasibility of using a winter grazing system.

Meet in the lobby of the Agriculture Service Center on Raccoon Road in Waynesville across from the test farm. Dress for an outdoor excursion.
