This workshop is for farms interested in adding poultry production to their marketing mix.  The workshop will cover breed selection, nutrition, feeding techniques, shelter requirements, and additional resources for beginning and experienced poultry producers.  Participants will also have the opportunity to meet other producers, share ideas, and ask questions.

Participants will receive handouts and informational resources.  Larry Giberson, from Giberson’s Plush Poultry, will present to the class bringing over 50 years’ experience in the poultry industry.  He raises and exhibits poultry for his business, as well as during his 30 years working with 4H.  A follow-up workshop covering on-farm processing will take place at the Small Acreage Expo in early April.

WSU Extension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination. Persons requiring special accommodations should call WSU Extension Clark County at (360) 397-6060 ext. 0 two weeks prior to the event.
