Mark Goodson, extension
agronomy agent in York Coun
ty, is initiating this educational
outreach effort because of de

“There are more horses than
dairy cows in York County,”
reports Goodson. “Many own

knowledge or background in
pasture basics. This meeting
will teach them where to find
quality educational materials.”
