Grazing & Forage Season Extension Webinar Series: Harvesting Winter Cover Crops

August 28, 2020

Grazing & Forage Season Extension Webinar Series: Harvesting Winter Cover Crops

This webinar will discuss how you can harvest your overwintering cover crops as forage by grazing in the fall and grazing or harvesting in the spring. This includes fall planting dates, species-specific information, and other management considerations. The speaker for this webinar is Sam Corcoran, agronomy researcher, of UMass Extension.

This is the fifth webinar in a six-part webinar series that will cover several strategies for grazing season extension and alternative forage production. The series is a collaboration among UMass Extension, UVM Extension, & UMaine Extension, and is supported in part by a Northeast SARE Research and Education Grant with organization and administration supported by the Livestock Institute of Southern New England with the support of the Cedar Tree Foundation. For any questions about the series, please contact Sam Corcoran at sglazecorcor@umass.edu
