March 2017 will mark our 20th Annual Grazing Conference!

This year’s conference - Celebrating Milestones - will focus on tried and true and innovative methods applicable to grass based farmers facing ever-changing environmental and economic conditions. Various experts will host sessions focused on the economics of a successful grass-fed beef operation, responsible management of pasture, and the economic and soil health benefits of integrating livestock into cropping systems and purchasing hay.

A brand new venue and some top-notch presenters will be just two of the many features to look forward to.  The conference will be held on Thursday, March 16, 2017 at the Trinity Point Church of God in Clarion, PA

* Please also note that this year’s new conference location is at Trinity Point Church located 1/2 mile south of Interstate 80, exit 62, near the Clarion Tractor Supply store.
