SAVANNAH, Mo. – Our program is geared towards producers wanting to learn more about soil health, cover crops and how they impact livestock and forage operations. These issues and more will be addressed at an upcoming meeting, “Grazing For Change-Soil Health, Cover Crops and Livestock”, on Friday, January 27th at the Clasbey Center in Savannah, MO.

The program will begin at 10 a.m. with a discussion from Robert Kremer, Soil Microbiologist with University of Missouri, on soil organic carbon, aggregate stability, soil health and their interpretations.
