DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nJoin University of Maryland Eastern Shore Extension\, Future Harvest\, the Million Acre Challenge and University of Maryland Extension\, for a workshop focused on multi-species grazing and soil health on Thursday\, April 23.\n\n\n\nThe free workshop will be held from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the Small Ruminant Farm\, 12093 Marion Drive\, on the campus of University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne.\n\n\n\nIt will be presented by Dr. David Brown\, assistant professor in the Department of Agriculture\, Food and Resource Sciences at UMES.\n\n\n\nMulti-species grazing involves the use of two or more livestock species\, such as cattle\, sheep and goats\, to graze pastures. This approach takes advantage of their complementary grazing behaviors to improve pasture utilization and forage diversity. \n\n\n\nThe session will highlight key soil health benefits\, including improved nutrient cycling from diverse manure sources\, enhanced soil structure\, and increased soil organic matter.\n\n\n\nThe workshop will also feature a demonstration of the Maryland Soil Health Card to assess physical and biological indicators of soil health\, and monitor the outcomes of soil management practices \n\n\n\nLunch will be provided.  Nutrient Management CEUs are available.\n\n\n\nRegister at Future Harvest Event Registration & Membership Portal\n\n\n\nFor questions or to request special accommodations\, contact Sarah Hirsh at shirsh@umd.edu or 410-651-1350 at least 2 week prior to the event\n
