Join MU Extension Specialists for an afternoon discussion and demonstration on all things frost seeding! Learn how to revitalize worn out pastures with this off-season planting strategy, improve forage availability throughout the year, reduce toxicity in tall fescue stands, and add fertility to your soils.
Topics covered will include:
- Frost Seeding 101 – Terry Halleran
- Maintenance of Grass-Legume Pastures – Tim Schnakenberg
- Utilizing Grass-Legume Pastures to Optimize Cattle Performance – Ian McGregor
- Broadcast Spreader Basics and Drone Demonstration – Caleb O’Neal
After hearing our specialists give their presentations, we will head outside for equipment demonstrations where we can look at different broadcast spreader units, as well as agricultural DRONES for use in frost seeding legumes!
