South Dakota Grassland Coalition
Our members understand that grass is their crop and that livestock are the way they harvest it. Management that promotes healthy grasslands increases livestock gain and soil health. Diverse native grassland communities help reduce the effects of drought, and often require fewer inputs of insecticides and herbicides by keeping the ecological system intact. A healthy functioning ecosystem balances the void that often occurs when managers treat symptoms instead of the cause of problems like weeds or low production.
