Tuesday, March 5, 2024 at 8pm EST – Joe Dickenson: Getting started with rotational grazing

There is a lot of emphasis on rotational grazing right now. Everyone is talking about the environmental and production benefits that rotational grazing can bring to a farm. While conversations are ongoing around how to improve an existing rotational system, it can be hard to find information on how to start. Joe’s talk aims to address that gap.

Joe Dickenson is a birth to beef farmer in Lambton County. He grew up on a dairy and beef farm on the edge of Sarnia, but expanded and moved the beef herd to Oil Springs in 2008. Since moving to Oil Springs, he has constantly adjusted his grazing methods to improve the productivity of his farm, and allow him to better utilize his land base. He has been a Feedlot Director of the Beef Farmers of Ontario since 2020, and has been a sessional professor at Lambton College since September of 2021, and University of Guelph – Ridgetown Campus since October of 2022. Joe, his wife Sonya, and their daughter Odette live in Dawn Euphemia Township
