The Tri-County Livestock and Forage Conference is built around the real decisions producers face every day: how to improve farm finances, make better breeding decisions and manage land for long-term productivity. This evening program offers insight producers can apply to grazing systems, genetic selection and soil health to strengthen the resilience of their operations.

Please register no latter than Monday February 9th at 9:00pm to reserve your dinner.

Dinner will be provided by Smolder BBQ and will include beef brisket, baked potatoes and salad.

  Heath Cobine, Soil and Water Conservation Technician
