For those of you that have not met me, my name is Patrick Toomey, the new Grazing Education Lead with SFA. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with SFA members to deliver top-of-the-line, relevant trainings to graziers across the state.
A whole bunch of new events just hit our calendar! Check it out to find pasture walks, workshops, and field days near you -- it's a great opportunity to plug into your local sustainable ag network!
Healthy soil is fundamental. Our health, wealth, and future depends on the ecosystem beneath our feet. SFA's work promotes agricultural community and prosperity through soil health.
We provide consulting and technical assistance as well as educational and networking opportunities to farmers and landowners in the areas of grazing, dairy, cropping, silvopasture, and fruit and vegetable production.
