MOUNTAIN GROVE, Mo. — The Missouri Forage and Grassland Council/Grazing Lands Conservation Initiative has moved their office to 5235 Gravel Point Road in Mountain Grove.
MFGC/NatGLC promotes the efficient use of forages through a variety of research, education and service programs. The office provides support for the Missouri Grazing Schools which are primarily operated by the Natural Resources and Conservation Districts as well as the University of Missouri Extension.
Forages are vitally important to Missouri for a multitude of reasons. More than half of the land area in the state is in forages. Two-thirds or more of the feed for livestock is made up of forages. Missouri forages provide food and shelter for wildlife, greatly reduce soil erosion and protect water quality.
