VFGC 2027 Annual Conference --Weyers Cave

2027 Marks the 50th anniversary of VFGC! 

The Virginia Forage and Grassland Council (VFGC) is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2027 with its Annual Forage Conference, scheduled for January 26–29, 2027. The conference will take place at four locations across Virginia: Wytheville, Buckingham, Warrenton, and Weyers Cave, with a livestream option also available. The event will bring together producers, agricultural professionals, and forage specialists to explore the evolution of forage and livestock production, share experiences, and discuss strategies for improving grazing management and farm productivity. 

Featured speakers will reflect on 50 years of progress in forage-livestock systems and discuss important lessons from the past, current best practices, and emerging technologies expected to shape the future of agriculture and will provide an overview of grazing management approaches, including rotational grazing, management-intensive grazing, mob grazing, and adaptive multi-paddock grazing. 

The event is supported by sponsors and a grant from the Virginia Cattle Industry Board, helping advance education, innovation, and collaboration within Virginia's forage and livestock industry.
