Managed Grazing Training
Prescribed/Managed
Grazing (MIG) involves the intensive management of pastures
for milk, meat, or wool production. MIG is more than just putting
up fences in existing pastures—it involves significant pre-planning,
as well as daily and seasonal pasture management.
This training program is designed for the agency staff member or consultant
who will be writing grazing management plans for farmers enrolled in
the EQIP cost sharing program. These training sessions provide information
on the basics of managed intensive grazing, understanding the technical
standards that must be followed, and what is expected within a grazing
management plan. Landowners and farmers can benefit by enrolling in
the introductory grazing course.
