Some networks also sponsor or organize on-farm research and share the results with their members. They provide farmers, UW researchers, extension faculty, specialists, and others excellent opportunities to learn from each other. In addition to sponsoring local activities, grazing networks in the state have banded together to form GrassWorks, Inc., which sponsors the annual and very well attended Wisconsin Grazing Conference in Stevens Point. The network's goal is to promote the feasibility of grazing as a profitable way of farming that enhances lifestyles and protects and improves the environment. Paul Daigle, Land Conservation Dept.
