Purdue Extension offices in Elkhart and Kosciusko counties are hosting a grazing workshop Jan. 17 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Elkhart County Fairgrounds in AG Hall. This workshop is designed for the livestock producers who are already grazing as well as the beginner. Keith Johnson, extension specialist from Purdue University, will present a session on pasture planning and renovation for 2013, and Jeff Burbrink, extension educator, will be presenting “Making the best of your soil test.” In the afternoon, Robert Kelly, extension educator, will be the moderator for a panel of local livestock producers who will share their experiences and provide tips and advice from their operations. Registration is required by Jan. 11, and includes lunch, all materials, and a copy of the Purdue Forage Field Guide for $20.00.
