NDSU Extension to Host Grazing Technology Discussions

Mar 21, 2024

By Miranda Meehan and Kevin Sedivec

There is a growing interest in the adaptation of precision livestock technologies, including technologies that can enhance grazing management. Grazing technologies currently available include virtual fence, water monitoring systems and smart tags.

To date, ranchers in North Dakota have been hesitant to implement these technologies, in part due to the high upfront costs of adaptation and the logistics of integrating technologies into their current production systems. There are still a lot of unknowns regarding the implementation of some of these technologies at the ranch scale.

North Dakota State University Extension will be hosting two discussions focused on grazing technologies to share more about available technologies and answer rancher questions. NDSU researchers will provide an overview of the technologies and share their experiences. Industry representatives will also be available to answer questions about their products.

Please join us to learn more about grazing technologies.

Thursday, March 28 – 1 p.m. at the Valley City Eagles
Tuesday, April 2 – 1 p.m. at the Menoken Farm

Video: We’re gonna build a new barn to start producing vaccines in Canada

We are a family farm in Ontario showing you what we do on our farm to produce eggs and what goes on day to day. Every day we do chores, gather eggs and make feed. On our farm we plant the crops and harvest them to feed the chickens, also we start our laying hens from day old chicks and raise them to be the best birds they can be to give you a grade A quality egg. After we are finished looking after our chickens, anything could happen from washing, waxing, fixing, welding, working on engines, working on classic cars, and more. I hope everyone enjoys cheers.

So since Covid, we have not had a way to produce any vaccines in Canada until now….. Valo has reached out to us to start start the process .
