SUMMARY:High Quality Forages at the Miller Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a field day at Miller Farm\, a fifth generation organic dairy in the Connecticut River Valley.\nThis is a free event but registration is required with limited availability. Click here to learn more and to register online.  \n\nThe Miller family has been farming here in the Connecticut River Valley for five generations\, now operating on 700 acres. They milk just under 200 cows with one of the oldest registered Holstein herds in North America. In addition to their own on-farm fluid milk processing\, they ship their milk to Stonyfield Organic. The farm first became certified organic in 2009. \nJoining the farm hosts\, Peter and Arthur Miller\, will be Dr. Heather Darby (UVM Extension)\, Sarah Flack (independent grazing consultant)\, Bill Kipp\, Nutritionist\, Independent Dairy Consultants\, and Cheryl Cesario (American Farmland Trust). \nThe Miller Farm has a strong focus on forage quality for high-quality milk production. Some of the topics we’ll discuss include: \n\nStrategies for producing top quality forages – in the field and in storage\nShifting climate patterns and how that affects dormancy\nHow cutting height affects forage yield and quality\nThe tradeoff between forage quality and soil carbon levels based on cutting height and frequency\nManaging soil fertility to optimize forage yield and quality.\nUVM Extension Northwest Crops & Soils program’s forage variety trial results\nGrazing management in a high organic milk production system\n\nThis workshop is a collaboration between American Farmland Trust\, Stonyfield Organic\, and the Vermont Grass Farmers Association\, with funding support from the NRCS Connecticut River Watershed Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) \n\nThis is a free event but registration is required with limited availability.

SUMMARY:Water Quality Insights Series: PFAS in Agroecosystems
DESCRIPTION:About the Live Webinar\nPFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are emerging contaminants raising concern in agricultural landscapes. This session highlights the latest Penn State research on how PFAS moves through soil and water\, influencing stream water quality and shaping our understanding of its environmental impacts. Participants will gain insight into current findings and their implications for agriculture\, water resources\, and long-term stewardship. \nClick here to learn more and register online.
