Grass Masters

Ben Hill Will be hosting the Grass Masters Series this year! This is a great opportunity to attend a forage workshop close by.

For those of you looking for an introductory course in all things forages....

The Grass Master’s program is a 7 – week long series of seven educational workshops that focus on forage production. Workshops are held every Monday beginning on January 27th at the Ben Hill County Senior Citizen Center. This program is an INTRODUCTION to forage production systems and is highly recommended for those of you just getting your "feet wet" when it comes to planning or improving a forage system.
