Cattlemen's College Features Producer Education on Soil Health, Grazing and Sustainability

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 16:56:58 CST

Cattlemen's College Features Producer Education on Soil Health, Grazing and Sustainability Sustainability is a big focus right now, from the White House to rural America. In the beef industry, sustainability takes place at the ranch management level - literally in the grassroots. That is why Hugh Aljoe, director of producer relations at the Noble Research Institute, is in Houston, Texas for CattleCon22: to educate cowboys and cowgirls about the importance soil health, grazing and sustainability.

"We understand that they are all inter-related," Aljoe said. "Our grazing lands are the common denominator between those three topics."

The first thing to understand about sustainability is that it means long-term, continual improvement, according to Aljoe.

"If we look at what the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef has presented in their sustainability framework, they do include that definition," Aljoe said. "If you look at their indicators, of the six, three have grazing management as their key metric."

Meaning, grazing management is extremely important! The only way to make your operation truly sustainable is to have a plan, according to Aljoe.

"What does it really mean to have a grazing management plan?" Aljoe asked. "If we improve the soil, we improve the pasture and land and ultimately profitability. That is where it all comes together."

Aljoe's educational session is set to take place at 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 1 at the 29th Annual Cattlemen's College. NRI is also co-hosting Tech Tools for Improved Grazing Management. See that on the schedule here.
