Virtual: Fly and Pest Control for Livestock

Join us for a virtual workshop on Fly and other insect control as we round out summer and jump head feet into fall. One of our biggest nuisances this time of the year are flies and ticks. They tend to bother farmers just as bad as the livestock. Fly control is a challenge and there are many ways to help solve the issue. Please feel free to join our workshop and we hope to answer all the questions you have regarding insects that affect your livestock. 

Featuring guest speaker- Ken Wise
