Are you interested in grazing, an experienced grazier, or just fascinated by new technology? Join CCE and DGA for a webinar to discover the PaddockTrac technology! This technology is still under testing but is a promising tool for future data-driven pasture management.
Why Attend?
- Learn how PaddockTrac, developed by Dr. Stacey Hamilton and Ryan Lock at the University of Missouri, has the potential to unleash the power of data-driven pasture management to boost productivity and say goodbye to the guesswork and "what if?" moments in grazing strategy.
- Explore how this innovative sensor, mounted on your ATV, automatically measures forage height, growth rates, and pasture cover.
- See how the Bluetooth-enabled sensor connects to a smartphone app for real-time data analysis, rank your paddocks, and provide actionable insights to make proactive decisions.
In this webinar, Dr. Stacey Hamilton will give a 30-minute presentation on how it works, why this technology was developed, and where it is going. We will have an extensive Q&A session, allowing participants to have an open space to ask questions and share their experiences.
WHEN: October 4th, 2023, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EST)
REGISTRATION: This webinar is free and open to anyone interested in grazing. Participants will receive the Zoom webinar URL after their registration is confirmed.

NY Small Farms Summit 2025: Stronger Together
December 5, 2025
Alfred, NY
We hope you will join us on December 5th for the 2025 New York Small Farms Summit! This is an opportunity to meet other farmers and ag supporters, learn about research and education projects, and set priorities for future efforts to grow small farm success.
At the Allegany County site, we will focus on giving trees a chance and how trees build resiliency on small farms. Whether attracted to fruit, nuts, vegetables, fodder or shade, trees can be an integral part of a successful farming system.
