The Minnesota Grazing Lands Conservation Association (MNGLCA) is now accepting applications for its 2026 Grazing Mentorship Program — a six-month, one-on-one program connecting Minnesota livestock producers with experienced local grazers. Apply by March 20, 2026.
Running April 1 through October 1, 2026, the program supports producers looking to improve adaptive grazing management, soil health, winter integration, and conservation-focused livestock systems. It's open to all Minnesota producers, including beginners, transitioning grazers, and conventional farmers considering livestock integration.
Accepted mentees receive monthly mentor check-ins, an on-farm site visit, a 2-year MNGLCA membership, complimentary access to a Grazing School or Field Day, and planning tools and peer support. Mentees may also be eligible for a $500 completion mini-grant in select regions. Mentors receive a $300 stipend per mentee, depending on regional funding.
Applications close March 20, 2026. Apply at www.mnglca.org/mentorship.
