Pasture Walk at Corse Family Farm with Sarah Flack

Join grazing consultant and educator Sarah Flack, DGA mentor Leon Corse and his partners, Linda, Abbie & MacKenzie and their current DGA apprentice, Chris, for a pasture walk at the Corse Farm Dairy. This interactive workshop will cover advanced grazing topics, including improving pasture productivity and quality, increasing forage digestibility, managing pastures after drought and high rainfall events, building soil health, and plant identification. Participants will gain practical, field-based insights and opportunities for discussion and peer learning throughout the walk. There will also be an opportunity to learn more about the Dairy Grazing Apprenticeship program from Leon, who has supported and mentored many apprentices through the program and from partner, MacKenzie, a DGA graduate and journeyman grazier and Leon's daughter, Abbie, who pushed him to become a mentor!

Lunch is included and RSVP is required.
