Please join the Amazing Grazing Team for an upcoming webinar, Navigating Nitrate Risk in Forages for Beef Cattle and Other Pasture-Based Livestock, on October 13th from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
Nitrate management remains a critical topic across agricultural production, livestock health, environmental stewardship, and water quality. This session is designed to provide practical insights, updated research, and actionable guidance to help you support growers, producers, and landowners in your counties.
Because of our long drought, many farmers are purchasing hay from new sources. As a result how to test for nitrate levels and how to develop a management strategy will be a common question you will face. Matt Poore and Johnny Rogers will present the basics on how nitrate poisoning works, and how to develop a practical approach to reducing harmful impacts.
