Pete Bauman
SDSU Extension Natural Resources and Wildlife Field Specialist
Biography
I have been with South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University Extension as a range field specialist since October 2012. I specialize in range, pasture and grassland management with an emphasis on educating producers about how profitability and ecological balance are complimentary. Focus areas/areas of interest also include alternative grassland management tools such as fire, biological control, controlled grazing and reduction of artificial chemical inputs for systems health. Prior to South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University, I was a land manager for The Nature Conservancy for their southwest Minnesota and Eastern South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã programs.
