| On February 8, 2003, an informational
seminar on pasture raised beef was held, with approximately 25 people
in attendance. As a follow-up to this seminar, the USDA Natural
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), Calvert Soil Conservation
District (SCD) and the Calvert County Agriculture Commission sponsored
a pasture walk to provide technical information related to Eastern
Gamagrass in established pastures.
The pasture walk was held at Eagles Ridge Ranch on
Tuesday, August 12, 2003. Twenty-one people (nine farmers and twelve
NRCS and SCD personnel) attended the pasture walk. SCD Personnel
attended from Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties. Attendees
learned more about the benefits of Eastern Gamagrass in establishing
year-round grazing for livestock.
