The Crop Residue Exchange is an online engagement tool designed to increase accessibility to grazing resources. This online exchange was recently updated to now include the ability to list pasture for rent to livestock producers.
After establishing a log-in account, a pasture can be listed available for grazing by clicking “List Residue” on the home page. The land available for grazing can be described using an interactive map and answering a series of basic questions. Under “Residue Type”, pasture is now one of the choices available.
Pricing can be done on a per acre or a per head per day basis. The fencing situation, water availability, and dates available are among the information that can be provided. Livestock producers can log in and search the database for available for grazing within radius of a given location of interest.
The Crop Residue Exchange is made possible with funding support from Nebraska Extension.
