The Service: Targeted Grazing

Smitter Farming's specialized grazing service, Billy and the Udders, directly addresses the needs of key entities like municipalities, utility companies, corporate landholders, and fire mitigation districts seeking cost-effective, large-scale brush removal.  Our efficient process uses targeted goat herds to clear invasive species, dense fire-hazard brush, and undergrowth on difficult terrain.  For grant issuers focused on ESG and climate resilience, our operation represents a dual investment opportunity: supporting a woman-owned agricultural enterprise while funding a proven natural capital solution that reduces wildfire risk and significantly cuts reliance on harmful chemicals and fossil-fuel-intensive machinery.

Benefits:

• Fire Mitigation: Reduces wildfire risk naturally.

• Chemical-Free: Protects soil, water, and local ecosystems.

• Accessibility: Goats can clear terrain that machinery cannot reach.

Quantifiable Impact:

5 Acre Trial (Prentiss County, MS):

• Cleared terrain inaccessible to heavy machinery (steep slopes/swamplands)

• Achieving zero chemical usage in an area previously treated with herbicides

• Proved the method's superior environmental and logistical viability.
