The Sustainable Grazing Mentorship program is responsible for Grazing Mentorship counseling services in specific areas around Alberta, and is administered by ARECA.
For a nominal fee of $100, the program provides clients acess to qualified mentors who understand grazing. These consultants work with you to explore options and develop a plan for your future success, and will work with you for up to 16 hours creating grazing plans, developing systems and performing economic analyses of the client's enterprise.
The Program's services will help to:
- Improve grazing management
- Get advice from another producer with significant experience
- Develop a whole farm plan for your future
- Establish healthier pastures
- Deal with environmental issues
- Get information on fencing and watering systems
- Be more profitable
The Sustainable Grazing Mentorship Program is funded by Growing Forward (through Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development).
