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. Keep in mind that Canada's milk system is not like ours.

IMHO, don't trust anything about dairy that you read in the Stockman Grass Farmer. Graze magazine is the best publication out there for dairy grazing knowledge.
Also, fencing doesn't have to cost thousands of dollars. You can experiment for far less before making an investment in permanent fencing. And there are shortcuts that can be made with high tensile that will still result in a long lived fence for less $$$.
