Description

Understanding Minnesota’s Wool Economy was a Collaboration between Get Bentz Farm, Three Rivers Fibershed, and the University of Minnesota Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships (RSDPs). Understanding Minnesota's Wool Economy aimed to study the 'who,' 'what,' 'where,' and 'why' of wool and meat production in Minnesota's sheep farming industry. With a focus on sustainability, this project also sought to understand the motives behind shepherds' use of regenerative and conservation farming practices. A graduate student researcher worked closely with Three Rivers Fibershed, Get Bentz Farm, and the U of MN RSDPs program over the course of the Fall 2021-2022 academic semester. Project methods included interviews with shepherds, informational surveys, printed and virtual informational products for public distribution, a written report, and a prepared presentation.
