Calling All Military Veterans: Learn About Pasture Fencing with the Grass Whisperer

If you’re interested in pursuing a livestock enterprise, a good fence is an essential tool to manage animals on the land.
Join John Slifka (Army) of Three Sisters Farm at (Rome) as he teams up with Sons of the American Legion member, grass farmer, conservation professional and former fence contractor, Troy Bishopp, to show others the art of building long-lasting fences the first time.
This hands-on event will show veteran farmers how to use a hydraulic post driver, build braces correctly, install high tensile wire fence components, where to get resources, learn tricks of the trade and pricing your own job using materials that will last.  In addition, fence chargers, portable fencing and pasture management strategies will be discussed in this jam-packed, practical day that is sure to provide confidence to pursue your farming goals.
