QUESTIONS ABOUT GRAZING PRACTICES AND PROTECTION OF RIPARIAN BUFFERS? 

Check out this website.   http://www.attra.ncat.org/attra-pub/managedgraze.html

This publication is designed to help farmers and ranchers identify and use locally appropriate grazing practices to protect riparian resources. Methods for protecting these environmentally fragile areas include keeping livestock from streambanks, properly resting pastures to restore degraded land, and determining the proper duration and season for grazing pastures. It examines adjusting general recommendations to fit your particular management objectives and environmental conditions.

Check out this short article by Sally McMurray, a professor at PSU--she is interested in historic farm buildings and reuse, restoration of them.  Grant money may also be available to help restore these regional landmarks.  By the way, WagN is a woman farmers organization.
