Working Lands Collaborative

The Growing GRASS program provides funding opportunities to beef and bison producers looking to build their byproduct supply chains.

Whether you are a producer looking to expand existing direct-to-consumer markets or are just starting your journey selling directly to consumers, this is something to put on your radar!

Visit ggrass.org to learn more about the program, or scan the code to access the enrollment guide and see if you're eligible.

Eligible producers receive $3,000 JUST for completing the survey - if you decide it's not for you at the end, you keep it, no strings attached!

It’s been great having Steve Kenyon with Greener Pastures Ranching talk grazing concepts, cell design, riparian management, dung beetles and soil microbes! There’s been a lot of valuable interaction between Steve and producers. Today we’re digging into economics and finances.
