Course Content<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

UVM Research Specialists Amber Machia and Sara Ziegler have developed a new online course designed for technical assistance providers. The goal of this course is to provide education and resources for new technical service providers with foundational information around grazing planning and providing grazing-related technical assistance to production livestock farmers in Vermont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course provides knowledge and best practices to become a great technical assistance provider. This short course can be completed at any time and at your own pace. It consists of five modules that contain video presentations, supplementary modules, and additional resources. The supplementary modules are presented by Extension specialists, Amber Reed and Carly Bass, and industry professionals, Cheryl Cesario from American Farmland Trust and Phillip Wilson from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a technical service provider, this course can teach you hard skills, like identifying pasture plant types and filling out the Vermont grazing plan, and soft skills, like how to communicate with a farmer about strategies to meet their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
