The New Agrarian Toolkit: A Webinar Series to Dig Deep and Level Up – #3. Putting Soil Health into Practice

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Soil health can be a really abstract topic for those of us who are out working on the ranch everyday and it is not always easy to get creative and try new practices to improve the soil. In this webinar, we will learn from other ranchers and farmers and hear what they have tried and in which ways it has succeeded or not succeeded. Joining us as speakers will be Nancy & Steve Oswald (Oswald Cattle Company, Cotopaxi, CO), Mihail Kennedy (B Bar Ranch, Big Timber, MT), and MJ Pickett (Calder Farm, Gunnison, CO). We will hear stories and takeaways from all three speakers, who have tried different approaches to improving soil health on their ranch/farm and see pictures of the setups and outcomes.

Biochar Production and Organic Amendments for Soil Health and Habitat Workshop

Quivira and Seven Oaks Ranch are excited to provide a multi-day workshop to learn about organic amendments, soil health, and wildlife habitat. June 16-19, we will learn how to make and use biochar, hear about pollinators, and enjoy a star party on a dark skies ranch in Ozona TX. We encourage women and young people to attend to build networking and capacity for regenerative rangeland stewardship.

Compost Production & Application on Rangelands

Join us in Ocate, NM and learn both how to produce compost, then about organic amendment application for rangeland soil health. Experts from Reunity Resources will demonstrate the Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composting system. ASP is a no-turn process that uses the naturally occurring microbial population in the feedstocks along with the appropriate oxygen supply and moisture to rapidly mature and age the organic waste into a valuable soil amendment. ASP is a useful method for agriculture producers or rural area residents who want to dispose of organic waste without taking it to the landfill. In addition, participants will learn about compost & biochar applications on rangelands as well as a couple soil health field monitoring techniques. Quivira Coalition staff will share preliminary results from case studies of compost, biochar and bale grazing applied at other ranches.

The New Agrarian Toolkit: A Webinar Series to Dig Deep and Level Up – #4. Launching a New Enterprise

Virtual Event Virtual Event

When you’re faced with an interesting opportunity to take stewardship of a land base, to expand an enterprise or to create your own operation, how do you make the decision whether or not to pursue it? Do you just follow your gut, or trust the results of late night kitchen table conversations with your partner? Do you make a pro/con list, and then perhaps lose it? As a beginning rancher, the opportunity to build your own business will likely present itself sooner or later. Maybe your boss allows you to lease a piece of land for a poultry enterprise. Perhaps your neighbor will let you run cattle on her property in exchange for some meat. Opportunities may be great, but are they great for you, now?
