Provides high quality technical assistance on privately owned grazing lands on a voluntary basis, and to increase the awareness of the importance of grazing land resources. The GLCI is carried out through coalitions of individuals and organizations functioning at the local, state, regional and national levels. The coalitions are livestock producer organizations, scientific and professional grazing resource organizations, conservation and environmental groups, state and federal natural resource and agriculture agencies, and other interested groups.
The Grazing Lands Technology Institute (GLTI) provides technical excellence to the natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and other appropriate customers in the acquisition, development, coordination, and transfer of technology that meets the needs of grazing land resources, landowners and managers, and the public.
A sustainable cropping system is an integral part of a complete farming system of soil, water, air, plant, animal, and human resources. The New Mexico Integrated Cropping Systems and Water Management Handbook, is intended to be user friendly for use by planners with producers. NRCS provided training for planners, partners and producers on “how-to” evaluate and understand site-specific field conditions, including chemical, biological and physical.
