March 8th 2022 @ 7:30PM EST: Planned Grazing – Making the Cows work for you with Pam Iwanchysko
Planned grazing is the process of moving livestock from paddock to paddock in a pasture, at the correct time and for the correct situation. A project was developed and monitored at the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiatives Research Farm that showcased proper grazing management to promote the reduction and elimination of the practice of continuous grazing. Iwanchysko will provide an overview of the results of the three-year project.

The Mapleseed Pasture Award Recipient will be announced in February.
March 10th, 2022 @ 7:30PM EST: Grazing Ruminants – The original soil builders. Lessons learned from my Nuffield Scholarship with Ryan Boyd
Boyd will share insights gained from visiting farmers and ranchers across the globe and a lifetime of grazing on his own farm. He will also discuss new ideas about how to effectively manage pastures to maximize stocking rate, soil carbon sequestration, and overall profitability.
