Rod, there are a lot of very successful graziers out there who will gladly help a rookie grazier so your statement is not correct. NRCS and other agencies like MIG for a number of reasons but that is not a reason to throw the idea into the bin.
If you are looking to maximize your milkcheck then grazing is probably not for you. Grazing is all about cutting costs and watching profitability.
