Forages as a discipline and forage workers in general are declining nationwide. Why is this? Could it be the department in which forage courses are taught? This paper will take a brief look at the history of forage/livestock grazing research, who currently teaches a forage course and where forages are currently taught at various land grant institutions. Finally, the question and a potential answer is provided regarding where might the forage discipline be taught to increase their exposure to undergraduate students.
作为一门学科，牧草学以及一般的牧草工作者在全国范围内都在减少。为什么会这样呢？会是教授牧草课程的系的原因吗？本文将简要回顾一下牧草/家畜放牧研究的历史，目前教授牧草课程的人员以及在各赠地机构中牧草课程的授课地点。最后，针对在哪里教授牧草学科以增加本科生对其的接触这一问题提供了疑问及一个可能的答案。
