The instructor for this workshop will be Lisa Kempisty, dairy/livestock educator with Cornell Cooperative Extension, who has worked with local dairy and livestock producers for more than 30 years on managing pastures and grazing strategies for raising healthy and productive animals who will be joined by industry leaders who will share their experiences.
