2024 Richland County Pasture & Grazing School Series

June Sessions

Sessions for Plain Growers and Women in Agriculture

RSWCD and our partners (USDA-NRCS, The Ohio State University Extension, Ohio Dept. of Agriculture, and the Ohio Forage and Grasslands Council) are planning several grazing/pasture management learning groups and invite you to join!

There will be two learning groups. One will be geared specifically to plain growers (i.e. Mennonite & Amish) and one for women in agriculture (however, both are open for anyone to attend).

Even if you are new to livestock and forage management, you are encouraged to join. Lunch and a grazing stick will be provided for each of the sessions. Registration is $10 per person, per session. Both sessions are scheduled for mid-June.

July Sessions

“Pastures for Profit” Grazing School & Pasture Walk

This general, three day class is for everyone, whether you’re new to grazing and pasture management or a seasoned pro looking to brush up or learn the latest techniques.

The July sessions will be three in total. The first two sessions will be seminars here at the Longview Center. The third session will be a pasture walk at the Eisenhauer’s Farm!

The registration is $30 per person, covering all three sessions. Food will be provided: dinner during the seminars, lunch for the pasture walk. A flash drive with course materials and a grazing stick will also be included. See our list of events below for further details and to register.

Both the June and July sessions will be held in conjunction with our partners USDA-NRCS, The Ohio State University Extension, Ohio Dept. of Agriculture, and the Ohio Forage and Grasslands Council.
