Ag Officials Encourage More Grazing
Animal farmers in Illinois may be hearing more about the benefits of grass for their cattle and other livestock. The USDA, through its Natural Resources Conservation Service, is working with the Illinois Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative to put on a new campaign called "Good Grazing Makes Good $ense!"

Cliff Schuette, a cattle farmer in Breese who is also chairman of the Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative, says the service can help operators switch to what he says is a profitable grazing management system. Advocates say farmers must know how to manage the grasses and get fences and paddocks in place before they start.
