Join UVM Extension at Woodlawn Farm to discuss integrating corn grain and soybean production into your farming operation. Seth and Kate Leach will talk about their investment in grain infrastructure and the benefits to adding this enterprise to their dairy operation.

This meeting is a collaboration with the UVM Extension Ag Business and the Northwest Crops and Soils Team. Jeremy Russo and Whitney Hull from UVM Extension’s Ag Business team will highlight how growing your own grains impacts input costs, cow health and milk production. Heather Darby and Je Sanders, from the Northwest Crops and Soils team, will cover important agronomic practices when growing grains, as well as benefits to soil health.

This workshop will be the first in a series, with future workshop locations in Addison and Franklin Counties. This is a free event and lunch will be provided. In the event of inclement weather, this workshop will be moved
indoors onsite.

Representatives from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, and Markets, as well as the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, will be in attendance to answer questions about funding opportunities in relation to water quality impacts.
