Our mission is to improve stewardship of grasslands through sustainable and profitable management.
What We Do
The South Dakota Grassland Coalition is a producer-driven organization with an emphasis on management of private land. The volunteers on the nine-member board are all landowners involved in production agriculture. They work with a number of other partners to bring up-to-date, science-based, production proven educational opportunities and information to grass managers and the general public in our state.
Grazing School
The Grazing School is designed for producers and anyone with an interest in learning how to best manage grasslands to benefit the land, livestock, wildlife, and people.
Range Consulting Program
This program was designed to help you implement the tools and techniques you learned at the grazing school. This is how you take your operation to the next level.
April is now Native Plant Month!
Recognizing the importance of public awareness about the benefits of South Dakota's native plants to the state's agricultural economy, Governor Kristi Noem has proclaimed April as Native Plant Month.
About Us
The SD Grassland coalition is a group of volunteers who focuses on presenting workshops, field tours, and nationally and internationally-known speakers tailored to the information needs of producers.
Our members are producers and individuals who are passionate about grassland management. “Out-of-the-box” is a term often heard when SDGC members gather. They value innovative thinking and are open to new ideas for managing range land, livestock and wildlife that are cost effective, yet protect or improve the resource. They learn from each other and together.
