Forage Conference
GRANTVILLE (Dauphin Co.)
- The 1999 Pennsylvania

on March 3-4 will feature
numerous presentations and
discussions focusing on pas
tures. This conference is being
co-sponsored by the
Pennsylvania Forage and
Grassland Council and the
Grazing Research and
Education center.
If you have interest in
extending the grazing season,
using TMR on pastures, custom
heifer raising, improving your
pastures or which pasture plant
species are best for your farm
then you should make plans to
attend the Grazing Conference
at the Holiday Inn in Grantville.
In addition to these topics, many
of which will include experi
enced grazers as presenters, Dr.
Jim Gerrish, a scientist from the
University of Missouri, will be
the keynote speaker.
Gerrish's grazing research
has gained him a very strong
national and international repu
tation as an excellent scientist

that keeps his research applica
ble to the farm. Jim Gerrish's
research has focused on animal
behavior and manure distribu
tion in grazing systems. In addi
tion he has organized and
taught Missouri's grazing school
for many years. Gerrish is an
excellent speaker who will pro
vide valuable information to all
Pennsylvania grazers.
At informally structured
evening sessions on March 3,
there will be the opportunity to
ask questions and discuss with
fellow farmers current concerns
on your farm or the grazing
industry.
In addition to the structured
educational program, there will
be a trade show with company
representatives available to
showcase the latest in grazing
technology. If it is New Zealand
style milking facilities of fence
insulators that you are interest
ed in, you can learn about it and
purchase it at the trade show.
