LINCOLN, Neb. – Those concerned with the utilization and conservation of grazing lands are encouraged to register for the 17th annual Nebraska Grazing Conference Aug. 8-9 at the Kearney Ramada Inn, 301 Second Ave. Presenters will address issues of interest for beginning and experienced grazers, land managers and policy makers.
Keynote speakers include Jim Gerrish, grazing consultant and owner of American GrazingLands Services, LLC; and Peter Ballerstedt, forage product manager, Barenbrug USA. Gerrish will discuss fences and water points and conduct a workshop on fencing and water development. Ballerstedt will talk about grass-based health and the ruminant revolution on the first day and selecting cool-season grasses for irrigated or dryland conditions on the second day.
“This year, we have a diverse program with two highly sought-after speakers,” said Daren Redfearn, a conference organizer. “In addition, the Tuesday morning session will be a workshop format on optimizing input costs highlighted by presentations from two prominent Nebraska producers, John Maddux and Jim Jenkins.”
