For most, live cows mooing don’t interrupt work seminars. But for those who attended the 2011 Flu- vanna Field Day at Wild Oats farm near Scottsville held at the end of May, such an interruption went unnoticed. Farmers, sportsmen and conservation enthusi- asts gathered under a tent on a rainy day to hear speakers from The Virginia Cooperative Extension office, the Soil & Water Conser- vation District (TJSWCD), the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF), and the Natu- ral Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). Topics ranged from saving the American Woodcock to mob grazing cattle to the implication of the newest Chesapeake Bay Watershed Legislation. “Eighty-percent of small wildlife die each year,” said Katie Martin, a Natural Resource Conservation Fluvanna Field Day at Wild Oats farm drew a crowd.
