Tri-County Pasture Walks

    Over the past three years, the Counties of Dinwiddie, Prince George, and Sussex have conducted quarterly Pasture Walks for the Tri-County Grazing Club.  A typical pasture walk is held late afternoon on a local Livestock or Forage producer's farm.  The participants are able to walk the host farmer's pastures and hay fields and discuss production questions occurring during that particular growing season.  In addition to getting first hand information from the host producer, many of the participants share their own experiences with each other during the walks.  Dr. Chris Teutsch, a Virginia Tech Forage Specialist and the local Ag Extension Agents  help answer production questions during the meeting.  On many occasions, participants bring in weeds and forage samples for identification and recommendations to solve production problems.
