The National Grazing Lands Coalition (NatGLC) was awarded a Conservation and Innovation Grant with the USDA NRCS in 2014 to conduct outreach/education/demonstration opportunities on how prescribed grazing impacts pasture and range productivity, conservation and soil health. The cornerstone of this project is the use and on-farm demonstration of rainfall simulators to facilitate technology transfer to producer-lead community based organizations of underserved, limited resource and socially disadvantaged groups on a nationwide scope. Hands-on workshops held by our project partners in Texas, Louisiana, South Dakota, South Carolina and New York accompany these demonstrations to enhance assimilation and adoption of grazing land management practices. Our poster presentation at the SRM will showcase these demonstrations with pictures and technical information for conference attendees. Dates and locations of future demonstrations will be listed.
