About the event
Join us at Paul Dietmann's farm for a pasture walk on September 27 at 1 pm. Paul will walk us through how he went about installing a grazing system on his land working alongside the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). We'll talk through the process of working with NRCS, working with a Technical Service Provider (TSP) to develop a grazing plan, and answer your questions. We will also have NRCS staff on hand to answer any questions you might have about applying for an NRCS contract or any of the programs that could help you meet your conservation and production goals. The project was funded through the NRCS Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) administered by the Sand County Foundation, and we'll hear about the program from Craig Ficenec.
