A new program has launched to help connect Nebraska pasture owners with livestock producers.
The Nebraska Grazing Exchange, created by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (NeDNR), works by having land owners fill out information about what pasture land they have available and then it’s added to an interactive map for others to see.
NeDNR said all information on the website is voluntary.
The concept of connecting pasture owners with livestock producers has been a beneficial tool in other states already, including North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.
NeDNR said other states that have implemented the idea have used the same platform, which means that a user of Nebraska Grazing Exchange will be able to see offerings in other states as well.
