in grasslands we trust.
“Linger Grazing: Observing the little things and learning how they effect the BIG things on a journey to optimize happiness” -Troy Bishopp
Thanks for landing on my page. Welcome to my body of ongoing work and context. I’m Troy Bishopp, aka The Grass Whisperer, borne out of a trip to Washington, D.C and too much ice-cream. I’m authentically real in this space of pasture based agriculture. I live in the shadow of agriculture’s backstory and the burden to share the truth.
I can only guess what brought you here. You mistook it for a marijuana search engine, you wanted to know more about grazing/grasslands, you might want me to speak at an event, you need a field visit to discuss your farm strategies, you were intrigued by a back story or you read something I wrote about farming, life and the pursuit of asking why.
If you linger long enough for Google analytics to count you, you’ll learn more about me, my body of work, life hacks, what folks say about me (in public) and possibly laugh, tear-up or get pissed from my cow-pie commentary. If you can stomach anything on here and feel compelled to support my farm family, grandchildren and I, we gotta a place you can do that too.

“This ole farmer is a confessed mitten throwback.”
“At Country Folks and Lee Newspapers, we appreciate Troy for so many reasons. He has a wonderful sense of humor that comes through in his writing. Because of his experience, he has a good handle on issues the farming community faces, and he’s not afraid to tackle controversial issues. We love having him write for us. He brings us genuine, useful and entertaining agricultural content.” ~ Joan Kark-Wren, editor-in-chief
