Grants for Grazing

North Crawford's grazing program receives a boost

During the initial stages of developing the North Crawford Community Pastures Program, CSP and our employee, Joseph Childs, decided to chip in for the labor and materials cost so that the school district would not be saddled with additional expenses.  However, since the program has been approved, we have been able to obtain grants from Food, Faith and Farming Network as well as Wisconsin Rural Coalition totaling $3,500.  These resources are being used to offset labor costs, purchasing fencing and water materials, as well as put on an open house event for the program including a lunch and an opportunity for grazing professionals and educators to speak to the public.  This event will take place on June 17, 2023 @ 10:30 at North Crawford Schools.
