Want to know more about the SDBII Farm Grants that are currently open for operational dairy farms in NC and the greater Southeast?  NC State Extension will be offering a series of workshops across the state this spring.  Each location will focus on a slightly different topic that is relevant to precision technology or infrastructure improvements.  All locations will have relevant information for both large and small ruminant dairy operations, as well as offer a meal for those who RSVP.(We ask that you RSVP a week in advance for each location you plan to attend so that we have ample lead time for food planning.) 

• Tuesday, April 25  - Chatham County Extension Center, Pittsboro, NC
• Wednesday, May 3  - WNC Livestock Center, Canton, NC

A
