National Grazing Lands Conference Set to Provide Land Stewardship Information

Tue, 24 Nov 2015 16:45:06 CST

National Grazing Lands Conference Set to Provide Land Stewardship Information
Contributed by Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation Producer Relations Manager Hugh Aljoe


The 6th National Conference on Grazing Lands is a conference held for livestock producers by livestock producers, especially producers who are interested in good land stewardship. The central theme of the conference presentations will be balancing economic sustainability with environmental sustainability. A producer cannot be economically sustainable long-term without being environmentally sustainable.


The conference will be held on Dec. 13-16, 2015, at the Hyatt Regency DFW in Grapevine, Texas. Ranch tours and a variety of presentations will be given. Presenters include producers recognized for their outstanding land stewardship and nationally renowned professionals including Don Ball, Ph.D.; Rachel Gilker, Ph.D.; Garry Lacefield, Ph.D.; and Kathy Voth. The Noble Foundation will host two sessions, as well. The first will include presentations from three successful Noble Foundation producers with three different types of operations. The second session will be an open forum titled "Ask the Noble Foundation Consultants," where producers from across the country can bring their questions to be answered using the integrated multidisciplinary consulting approach of the Noble Foundation consultants. Expect to find the Noble Foundation consultants attending through the duration of the conference.


The National Grazing Lands Coalition (NatGLC) is a collaborative association of agricultural producers and organizations working together to maintain and improve the management and health of the nation's private and public grazing lands. The coalition is driven by agricultural producers and organizations specializing in conservation, scientific research, watershed benefits and erosion control.


Presentation titles include:

•"Ecosystem Services Provided by Western Ranchers"

•"Using Grazing to Improve Health of the Entire Soil-Plant-Animal-Human Complex"

•"Innovative Grazing Management for Multiple Resource Benefits"

•"Unique Partnering Agreement Provides Multiple Benefits to Kansas Ranchers"

•"Guptill Ranch Grazing Lands/Soil Health"

•"Improving Rangelands One Mentor at a Time: A Roadmap to Begin a Regional Internship and Mentoring Program Across the High Plains"

•"Soil Health and Water Quality Challenges"

•"Exploring Economic Impacts of Soil Health Practices in Water Stressed Regions"

•"Ranching Sustainability Self-Assessment"


In addition, the Texas Grazing Lands Coalition has partnered with NatGLC to hold a series of "Texas Day" sessions on Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015. The overall focus of these sessions will highlight innovative management strategies that focus on soil health through systems that optimize vegetation/forage production, benefit livestock production and water quality, and optimize energy savings, therefore benefit landowners and society through the economic and ecological sustainability of the agricultural enterprise. One of the key presentations will be from National Environmental Stewardship Award-winner Gary Price of the 77 Ranch near Blooming Grove, Texas. Price will share his story of how managing and taking care of the land benefits not only his ranching operation but his community and the environment.
