MORRISVILLE, NY—Morrisville State College is hosting a free workshop for those interested in learning about nutrient management in pastures. 



The workshop, scheduled April 12 from 3-5 p.m. in Bicknell Hall, will address questions about managing soil fertility in the pasture and interpreting soil test reports as they relate to forage production. It will also cover soil phosphorus management and ideas for the next grazing season.
