Role of Birds on Midwest Farms: Lesson #8 Webinar
Lesson #8: Bird-Friendly Livestock Operations: From Grassland Conservation to Barn Swallow Fly Control
This 10-lesson virtual course teaches agricultural professionals and farmers how to support beneficial birds and manage pest birds on farms. By learning to assess the farm’s avian needs and opportunities, farms can be designed to support a diversity of beneficial birds. If pest birds are a problem, they can be discouraged with specific practices during the shorter periods when they cause damage.
The sessions will cover:
- How Barn Swallows impact fly activity and fly populations in livestock operations.
- How birds can be farmers’ allies and play an important role as pest controllers.
- New approaches for wildlife conservation.
1 CCA credit available.
