Topics to be covered:
Bobwhite basics, bobwhite habitat considerations in grazing lands
Overview of native warm-season grass (NWSG) establishment
Why use NWSG in your grazing system – animal performance and economics
How to manage NWSG forages – maintaining vigor and productivity, impact on bobwhite and other grassland birds
NWSG in complementary cool-season grass systems.
Registration:
No registration fee, but registration is required.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July 19, 2023 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is accepting offers for nearly 2.7 million acres from agricultural producers and private landowners through this year’s Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Grassland signup. This program allows producers and landowners to continue grazing and haying practices while protecting grasslands and further CRP conservation efforts. Grassland CRP is part of the Biden-Harris administration’s broader effort to address climate change and conserve natural resources. This year’s signup results include more than 144,000 acres in Texas.

Agriculture
To free up land for biodiversity conservation while satisfying growing food demand, techno-optimist narratives suggest indefinitely increasing agricultural productivity, including through massive pesticide use. But this view, which has made its way from an academic niche into corporate and policy-making circles, overlooks the complexity of natural ecosystems and the market dynamics that regulate access to food.
