2021 Pasture Walks
May 20, 2021, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Kehr Acres, Littlestown, PA (Adams County)
Online Registration
Matt Kehr, along with his father David Kehr, own and operate Kehr acres, a crop and beef farm in Adams County, PA. Utilizing no-till techniques, they usually plant a rotation of corn and soybeans with cover crop mixes. In spring 2020, they started grazing the fall planted cover crops and have continued to include cover crop grazing as part of their rotation. The pasture walk discussion will include infrastructure (fence, watering system), grazing management, and overview of ongoing cover crop grazing research.
