Why Focus on Grazing Educators?• The Upper Midwest is a
unique geography• More young farmers are
interested in livestock production
• More landowners and conservationist are interested in livestock benefits
• More consumers want pasture raised meat and dairy products
• Less public funding for grazing networks and education
• Fewer professional development opportunities for educators
• Changes in grazing techniques and terminology
• No single source for education materials

What Could a Grazing Educator Network Achieve?
• Connect Upper Midwest Educators through discussion and sharing
• Assess education materials‐tool; determine what’s missing and fill the gaps
• Create a platform to house and access materials and tools
• Share what works and why• Cross‐pollination of staff,
students, apprentices and programs
• Involve established grazing education programs
• Access materials‐tools no longer in circulation
• Build collaboration that is more “grass‐roots” than “top‐down”
• Include educators of various types; farmers, academics, agency and consultants
• Establish basic principles of managed grazing that are taught by all
