Troy Bishopp The Grass Whisperer

Welcome, while I simulate a silent hug.  I’m Troy Bishopp, aka The Grass Whisperer.  Some of my friends feel compelled to call me, “Whisp”, “Whimperer, “Ass Whisperer” or the occasional “Landshark”.  My closest advocates have said I’m a cross between Gene Logsdon and Andy Rooney with tinges of Wendell Berry, Louis Bromfield, Shannon Hayes and Joel Salatin.  Some just shun me!   I'm an enthusiastic 5th generation organic grass farmer at Bishopp Family Farm with over 34 years of experience. The Farm is a distinguished NYS Agriculture Society’s Century Farm Award recipient for continuous operation since 1890.  I'm a full-time grazing/ conservation professional and educator.  I'm also a professional speaker and a free-lance writer/photographer for Lee Newspapers, OnPasture.com, and other regional and national media outlets.  “Building a community of observers and lingerers where you applaud the idea of observing the little things and thinking about how it affects the big things.”
