get $50 off grazing boot camp

If you were considering attending the grazing boot camp with Eric Noel and Abe Collins at Steve Normanton's farm in May, Granite State Graziers just made your decision a little easier. If you're a member of Granite State Graziers, or if you join now, the fee for the two day boot camp and meals is reduced from $300 to $250.

The intensive, hands-on two day workshop will run May 10 and 11 at Steve's Farm in Litchfield, NH. It will focus on ways to improve soil dramatically and rapidly using a collection of different techniques such as planned grazing, keyline plowing, subsoiling, soil boosting amendments, cocktail cover cropping, and more, resulting in increased feed quality and quantity, a longer grazing season, and better operating margins.

Presenters are Eric Noel and Abe Collins. As grazing consultant and diversified farmer, Eric has pushed the pencil on the real costs and real opportunities for income from a pasture-based enterprise. In this session, he will lay out techniques and strategies to beef up your wallet through grazing management. Small adjustments in your management practices can translate into big improvements in your bottom line.
