The 8th National Grazing Lands Conference was a time for producers from across the country to come together, network, and grow. It was so nice to be together again and we are looking forward to 2024 in Tucson!
"It’s always a highlight to bring together individuals who share a common passion. This past December did that and more. It created a platform for us to not only connect with fellow land stewards, but to learn about some of today’s most important issues facing our grazing lands. I hope attendees found value in the diverse sessions and walked away with knowledge that can be applied on the ground to help advance our stewardship of grazing lands" - Chad Ellis, NatGLC Chairman
Thanks to the collaborative agreement from NRCS, NatGLC was able to partner with five states to send first time attendees to the conference.
“I thought it was very informative and very well put together,” First time attendee and presenter Jared Miller said. “My biggest takeaway was from attending the pump session by Michael Golla. After going to his presentation, I will be doing a lot more preventative maintenance on our irrigation pumps and small pumps for our pastures.”
One attendee stated, "Loved the location! Really enjoyed the producer talks and testimonials. The practical nature of this conference is what's appealing. I also greatly value the priority put on natural resource management as well as the varied sessions which cover a number of other topics. The diversity of the attendees was awesome! This is a very unique conference and one that I wish was held more often."
