SUMMARY:Working with Bale Grazing to Recover Soil Health
DESCRIPTION:Curious about what bale grazing is and how it can help increase the soil health on your land? This free webinar features Philip Boyd\, vice president of science and research at Dixon Water Foundation. He will share his experiences using bale grazing in efforts to promote soil and watershed health in the state of Texas. Bale grazing is a winter feeding method where bales are set out on pasture and fed in a controlled manner\, and the combined organic matter resulting from leftover hay and manure and urine deposits enriches the soil. \nThis talk will cover the use of hay bale grazing to recover bare ground in the arid Chihuahuan Desert prairie of Dixon Water Foundation’s West Texas ranch and in areas impacted by utilities and oil and gas development. The content will be applicable to all who are ranching in arid regions and wanting to build up the soil health of their land. There will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion after the presentation. This will take place at 10 a.m. MT. \nQuestions? Contact Eva Stricker at eva@quiviracoalition.org. \nThis workshop is funded by a USDA Conservation Innovation Grant.
