Improved Pastures with Bale Grazing & Silvopasture

Thursday, September 10
4–7 pm 

Cost: $10

Pittsburgher Highland Farm
722 Armbrust - Hecla Rd
Mt Pleasant, PA 15666
About the event

Discover how Pittsburgher Highland Farm is able to strengthen their rotational grazing system by planting trees into their pasture and improve their soil fertility through bale grazing. Learn from Farmer Mark Smith about Pittsburgher Highland Farm’s most recent tree planting and how it showcases the protection techniques yielding the highest degree of success, including an elevated electrified wire that connects to individual wires that spiral down each tree tube for enhanced protection while letting livestock pass underneath the wire and access the whole pasture. You’ll also see first-hand what’s involved and current findings in their newest study on bale grazing, a winter-feeding technique that sets hay bales out across the pasture so livestock can feed in place, building soil fertility as they go. Whether you’re curious about adding trees to pasture, exploring bale grazing for your own operation, or both—come walk the grounds at Pittsburgher Highland Farm and ask your questions! A meal will be provided by the farm!
About Pittsburgher Highland Farm

Farmer Mark Smith is enrolled in Pasa’s Agroforestry Training Program, pairing him with mentor farmer Harrison Rhodes from Trees for Graziers to help develop his silvopasture plantings funded by the Richard King Mellon Foundation. Pittsburgher Highland Farm is also part of an active USDA Conservation Innovation Grant studying silvopasture with the goal of identifying which implementation practices lead to success and can be replicated by other farmers. Under the USDA-SARE Farm Grant, Mark is also working with Sjoerd Duiker of Penn State Extension to study bale grazing.
