STRATEGY

There has never been a greater need to think seriously about managing for long-term success: maximizing the impact of every dollar invested in farm operations, capitalizing on opportunities, and avoiding common pitfalls.  Join us this February as we discuss:

· Top-quality haylage production

· Nitrogen management in grass haylage: how much N is enough?

· What’s the difference? Characteristics of farms that succeed and farms that fail

· Optimizing profitability with low-cost rations

· Other locally relevant topics

Attendees will enjoy interactive presentations, discussions, and an excellent lunch with UVM Extension faculty and staff including Sid Bosworth, Mark Canella, Jeff Carter, Alan Curler, Heather Darby, Daniel Hudson, Dennis Kaupplia, Tony Kitsos, and Bob Parsons
