We have another great training opportunity for you all! After completing Year 1 verifications, we observed some common challenges and questions. In preparation for Year 2, the Climate-Smart Growin in SC Team offered an online training to address some of these challenges and provide a forum for producers to ask questions about the Climate-Smart Grown in SC Forages for Beef Cattle practices. In this video Clemson University’s Forage Specialist, Dr. Liliane Silva, reviews key points for success in establishing and maintaining legumes and grazing management in forage-livestock systems.
