Arkansas has more than 34,000 farms containing more than 3.6 million acres of grazing land--and almost every acre of it could be benefitted by implementing grazing practices! Prescribed Grazing (pasture management) matches forage composition and herd requirements to optimize production. By extending the grazing season, graziers may lower expenses, reduce labor, and produce superior forage. Select the links below to download documents that discuss extending the grazing season and developing Prescribed Grazing, Filter Strips, etc. Contact your local NRCS Grazingland Specialist for additional information and an on-site assessment.
