Overland Farm in Unity Site of Pasture Walk

University of Maine Cooperative Extension and the Maine Grass Farmers Network (MGFN) are co-sponsoring a pasture walk at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, June 19, at Overland Farm on Hunter Road in Unity.

Overland Farm owner Mike Anderson has been improving its pastures with managed grazing and critical soil amendments. Anderson raises registered Highland cattle, a Scottish breed with long horns and wavy coats. Anderson will talk about what he has done to improve the pastures and changes he has seen in productivity. UMaine Cooperative Extension educator Rick Kersbergen will be at the walk to help answer questions.

The walk is one in a series of educational events co-sponsored by MGFN and UMaine Extension. For more information, or to request a disability accommodation, call the Waldo County Extension office at 207.342.5971 or email richard.kersbergen@maine.edu.
