Special Ui Rappahannock News

Monira Rifaat of Manor Farm near Sperryville, Va. in Rappahannock County was selected to receive the Outstanding Forage Producer of the Year by the Virginia Forage and Grasslands Council and Virginia Cooperative Extension.

The award is presented to producers who demonstrate innovative forage management techniques, who excel at the use of conservation practices that protect water quality, and who demonstrate economically proven forage production methods.

Rifaat is continually striving to achieve quality forage production because it enhances animal performance and makes good financial sense

In the early 1980s, she installed a rotational grazing system on her farm which enables her to systematically move animals to areas where they can take advantage of the most nutritious lorage.
