SUMMARY:Pasture Walk at Maryland Solar Grazing Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an educational pasture walk with Maryland Solar Grazing Solutions in Hagerstown\, MD \n\n\n\nJoin University of Maryland Extension for an educational pasture walk with Maryland Solar Grazing Solutions in Hagerstown\, MD (Washington county). \n\n\n\nThis pasture walk will feature a unique opportunity to tour an active solar site where sheep are being grazed for vegetation management. Business owners Sara and Joseph Kidd specialize in grazing Katahdin sheep on solar arrays and raise and sell lambs for market. They have recently incorporated virtual fencing into their system and are using these collars to help them better manage their grazing. They will share their story and discuss the pros and cons of grazing sheep under solar panels and their experiences with using the virtual fencing system. \n\n\n\nSponsored by University of Maryland Extension \n\n\n\nUniversity of Maryland Extension programs\, activities\, and facilities are available to all without regard to race\, color\, sex\, gender identity or expression\, sexual orientation\, marital status\, age\, national origin\, political affiliation\, physical or mental disability\, religion\, protected veteran status\, genetic information\, personal appearance\, or any other legally protected class.

SUMMARY:ASGA-ALB Certified Solar Grazing Workshop - Plymouth\, Indiana
DESCRIPTION:The American Solar Grazing Association is excited to announce that the American Lamb Board will be hosting an ASGA Certified Solar Grazing Training for farmers and ranchers from July 27th to 29th in Plymouth\, IN! \n\n\n\nOver the 3-day training\, participants will learn the solar grazing training standards set by ASGA\, which covers the basic subjects a sheep rancher should be versed in to manage vegetation on a solar site. The workshop includes a live demonstration on a site grazed by solar sheep.  \n\n\n\nNew solar projects are creating opportunities for sheep producers to graze their flocks on solar sites and start solar grazing enterprises. We look forward to hosting sheep producers from the state and nearby areas to learn about running a solar grazing operation. \n\n\n\n**This training is sold out. Please refer to our website for upcoming trainings. ** \n\n\n\nLocation: Marian University Ancilla College9601 Union Road\, Plymouth IN 46563 \n\n\n\n\nClassroom location: Lindenwood Building\, Evergreen Room\n\n\n\nInstructions: Park in Lots D and RD. Lindenwood is Building 6 on this walking paths map\, located right next to Lot D. The Evergreen Room is just inside our main entrance. We’ll also have a sign that says “American Lamb Board” with an arrow pointing guests toward the Evergreen Room.\n\n\n\n\nTopics covered at the workshop include: \n\n\n\n\nVegetation Management Objectives and Strategies\n\n\n\nSeeding and Forage\n\n\n\nSheep Management and Handling\n\n\n\nSheep Nutrition\n\n\n\nWorking with Site Infrastructure to Accommodate Sheep\n\n\n\nContracts\n\n\n\nBudgets and Start-up Costs\n\n\n\nInsurance\n\n\n\nSignage and Public Interaction\n\n\n\nSolar Site Production Basics\n\n\n\nWorking with the Solar Company\n\n\n\nSafety on Solar Site\n\n\n\nRegulatory and Taxation Issues\n\n\n\nTimelines and Checklists\n\n\n\n\nThe ASGA Certification Program is part of our ongoing efforts to develop a workforce of qualified solar graziers and help sheep farmers realize the incredible opportunity solar grazing presents. To receive the ASGA Certification\, workshop participants are required to also be ASGA members. Join ASGA here.  \n\n\n\n**This training is sold out. Please refer to our website for upcoming trainings. **
