Curious about livestock management systems that can save you money, build soil health, and improve your farm? From rotational grazing, seeding pastures, wells, and watering to native forages and shade enclosures, choosing what to incorporate into your management system seems like a headache.
Fortunately, The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is there to help! NRCS provides free expert advice and financial assistance to help farmers and ranchers improve their operations.
Hear from farmers, Bryan Hager of Crager Hager Farms and Ricky Dollison of Dollison Farms, on their experince accessing NRSC programs and learn how you too can take advantage of offerings for your livestock operations. While the presenters will be sharing their stories as Georgia based farmers, the NRCS is a federal program located in every state. So regardless of your location, tune in!
Topics covered include infrastructure cost-shares through EQIP, technical assistance from NRCS agents, and the benefits of drafting a conservation plan.
