NRCS conservation planners will become aware of several record keeping systems available to livestock producers with grazing livestock.
This webinar takes a fresh look at record keeping for grazing systems. Traditionally, NRCS conservation planners and other technical advisors have sought to use one centralized system embodied in a specific software for farmers and ranchers to use. This is much more efficient for NRCS or other government agencies to retrieve data from one source. However, livestock graziers use other methods that fit their individual management style of keeping records and making management decisions and probably very few producers are using the same method. This webinar’s purpose is to help NRCS staff realize that there are several record keeping systems available to livestock producers, several of them by apps through the producer’s smart phone, tablets, or laptop computers. These ‘other’ record keeping systems have been developed by farmers and ranchers themselves, as well as some land grant universities. Join us as we take a look at some of these systems and how NRCS and other technical advisors can use the data from this diversity of record keeping systems to obtain the information they need to administer technical assistance and documentation of implementation of grazing management.
This webinar is presented by the USDA NRCS East National Technology Support Center.
