POTTSTOWN, Pa. — Pasture management is the key to productive pastures that last. Join Penn State Extension on a Pottstown, PA farm to sharpen your pasture management knowledge and skills.

Penn State Extension Educators Laura Kenny (equine) and Cheryl Fairbairn (livestock) will lead an evening Pasture Walk to tour a local farm and discuss ways to improve animal and environmental health on your farm by thinking about soil health, pasture and grazing management, and weed control.  Be prepared for hands-on activities in pastures to sharpen your forage and weed ID skills, take soil samples and interpret results, and evaluate pastures.  Representatives from the Montgomery County Conservation District and USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service will also be present to answer questions about their programs for farm owners.

The program will take place on August 1, 2022 at the Mowrer Farm in Pottstown, PA from 6-8pm. The Mowrers have a small beef herd and a horse on the farm in addition to producing hay.
