Silvopasturing

[dominiquer60]

From the NY Small Farm Monthly Update

“Grazing Events Calendar

March 27th, 2010. Silvopasturing in the Finger Lakes. 9:00am – 2:00pm. Edgerton’s Party House, 8600 State Route 21, Naples. This program will be an in-depth introduction to silvopasturing. It will explain how a farmer or rural landowner can use these practices to achieve income and farming goals, particularly on marginal or hilly land. The idea is to improve long-term woodlot and pasture areas while earning short-term income from properly managed beef cattle, goats, sheep, and other livestock. Fee is $25.00 per person ($15.00 for additional personnel from the same farm) and includes a full lunch and handouts. Please register by March 23, 2010 by calling CCE- Ontario County at 585-394-3977 ex. 427 or email nea8@cornell.edu.”

This sounds more interesting than Joel Salatin just turning his pigs out in the woods.
