The Virginia Forage and Grassland Council
The Virginia Forage and Grassland Council (VFGC) was formed June 9, 1977; we are an affiliate member of the American Forage and Grassland Council and a non-profit organization of the Commonwealth. Activities of the council are supported by members, industry, and partnering organizations. VFGC currently has over 300 members from across Virginia.
The mission of the Virginia Forage and Grassland Council is to educate producers, policy makers, and the general public about the economic, environmental, and social benefits of forage-based production systems. Please explore our website to learn about upcoming educational programs and resources regarding forage production, grazing management, and grassland resource conservation.
