This program promotes using management, not technology, to solve issues and problems. Emphasis is put on generating sustainable profit, not maximizing production. Educational workshops and events are held through out the year:
- 2010 PlacerGROWN Food and Farm Conference - January 30, 2010 Lincoln High School, Lincoln, CA
- 2010 California Grazing Academy - April 30 - May 2, 2010 Sierra Research and Extension Center, Browns Valley, CA
I publish a quarterly Foothill Rancher newsletter. You can sign up and receive the newsletter electronically. Foothill Rancher
There is an annual field day at the Sierra Research and Extension Center in April. Each year, the field day is held in late April or early May. Farm calls are available by an appointment basis. Questions can answered by phone call (530-889-7385) or email at rsingram@ucdavis.edu .
I am the Livestock and Natural Resources Farm Advisor in Placer and Nevada Counties.
I have a Master's degree in Animal Science from Texas A & M University. I have served as a Farm Advisor in the areas since 1986. Hope you enjoy the site and feel free to get in touch with me by phone or email. I look forward to meeting you!
Thanks,
