The Minnesota Grazing Lands Conservation Association, Inc. was awarded a $414,092.80 Project Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service to support conservation grazing and livestock management utilizing soil health principles on grasslands and grazing lands in Minnesota.

Funded through the Soil and Water Conservation CFDA 10.902 program, this three-year award beginning September 1, 2022 will provide technical assistance to private landowners and organizations to conserve soil and water resources through grazing land management practices that improve soil health. The Association will work with a network of local conservation professionals to assist grazing operators in adopting conservation strategies tailored to their operations. This grant aims to advance the program's goal of sustainably managing working lands through cooperative efforts between federal agencies and local partners.
