“The purpose of this grant, between the u.s. Department of agriculture, natural resource conservation service (nrcs) and minnesota grazing lands conservation association (mnglca), is to educate producers about conservation grazing and grassland management through farmer-to-farmer education and support. We will build a network of like minded farmers working to implement conservation practices and share their knowledge and experiences of their journey. We will work to unite the nrcs, university of minnesota extension and the swcds with conservation organizations to maximize efficiency, combine our resources to support the farmers and ranchers in minnesota and educate about conservation practices. Currently, the nrcs, university of minnesota extension, and the swcds provide technical support to farmers, however what is missing is the farmer-to- farmer piece of the puzzle. By partnering with our members, board members and farmer mentors this grant will fill the education and coordination gap to bring practical experience from those whose livelihoods depend on farming and ranching."”
