Electric Fencing for Serious Graziers…An In-Service for Agricultural Professionals

Major Program: Forages
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Temporary and permanent electric fencing is a powerful tool for managing grazing. In 2020, working with Dr. Teutsch from the Department of Plant and Soil Science and Jeremy McGill from Gallagher Fencing, we developed a curriculum entitled “Electric Fencing for Serious Graziers”. This educational program is a combination of classroom and hands on exercises designed to provided participants with the tools needed to assist livestock producers with electric fencing. After a delay due to COVID-19, this program was implemented in the spring of 2021. In a post workshop survey, 100% of the participants agreed or strongly agreed that because of this in-service training, they felt better equipped to help producers install and trouble shoot electric fencing.
