AgNext, CCA team up on grazing 

AgNext and the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) have created a multidisciplinary team to develop science-based grazing management principles to enhance climate resilience, rangeland health, biodiversity and economically sustainable ranching.

Producers lack access to practical and measurable grazing management plans, but this project, supported by an $863,000 National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant, will work to fill that gap, the groups said. The goal is to improve management practices on at least 10,000 acres of eastern Colorado grasslands.

CCA will recruit producers through a request-for-proposal process to apply these innovative grazing principles starting in January 2025.
