Karl Sime of Sime Farms, located near Stoughton, WI, will share information on how he utilizes cover crops for grazing his beef cows. Karl continually strives to improve his management of cover crops for grazing and harvested forage while also growing a grain crop on the same acres within the same cropping year. This method requires flexibility on the part of the farm, but ultimately can lead to time savings as the cows play a significant role in the harvesting of feed and distribution of manure.
Marie Raboin, a Conservation Specialist with Dane County Land Conservation, will be discussing the economic aspects of Karl's system. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights from Karl and Marie on the benefits of grazing cover crops.
