SUMMARY:Creating a Drought Resilient Farm or Ranch with Jim Gerrish from American Grazing Lands
DESCRIPTION:Drought resiliency is created by conscientiously managing for a functional water cycle. This requires leaving appropriate post-grazing residual after every grazing event\, creating and maintaining a litter layer on the soil surface\, and building soil organic matter and biological life. Join Jim as he discusses key management strategies to create drought resilience that include:  \n\n\n\n1) Matching stocking rate to carrying capacity seasonally and annually.  \n\n\n\n2) Balancing use and recovery periods.  \n\n\n\n3) Having a proactive drought response plan that includes destocking triggers.

SUMMARY:How to Utilize the Rangelands Analysis Platform (RAP) to Measure Pasture Forage Production
DESCRIPTION:Finding the balance between stocking rate and achieving your ecological goals is difficult. \n\n\n\nTravis Krause and Kevin Rothe of Grazing Lands will teach you about their data-driven approach to utilizing the Rangelands Analysis Platform (RAP) to optimize their stocking rate and increase profitability. Fast\, powerful\, and free\, the RAP is an innovative online tool that quickly visualizes and analyzes vegetation data for the United States and allows you to see abundance and distribution of perennial or annual herbaceous\, shrubs\, trees\, and bare ground. RAP is a highly useful tool for measuring forage production. Learn how RAP data with PastureMap grazing management software has helped them make better stocking decisions. \n\n\n\nJoin this webinar to: \n\n\n\n\nLearn about the Rangelands Analysis Platform and PastureMap Grazing Software\nGain a basic understanding of how to leverage these tools to measure forage production\nLearn how to optimize stocking rate and profitability based on forage production

SUMMARY:The Language of Microbes with Allen Williams from Understanding Ag
DESCRIPTION:Microbes perform a multitude of amazing things— They harvest minerals from the soil and feed to the plants\, produce biological glues that stick soil particles together\, and form soil aggregates that facilitate water infiltration and retention. Microbes also signal plants to produce objectionable compounds to deter pest insects and are the plant’s principal immune system against fungal disease. They feed plants on a “just in time basis” and on a 24/7 timetable. Applied fertilizers cannot do any of these things. \n\n\n\nWhen we encourage the explosion of microbes beneath the soil\, all life above the soil benefits. Plant species diversity increases\, beneficial insect populations thrive\, and bird populations are enhanced. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will introduce you to the hidden world of marvelous microbes\, and we will explore how tapping the power of microbes will: \n\n\n\n\nGrow our productivity\nReduce our input costs\nEnhance our net profits\nFuel phytonutrient richness in the food we eat and significantly improve crop and livestock health

SUMMARY:Productive or Profitable? Understanding Your Gross Margin Analysis to Grow Your Profitability
DESCRIPTION:North American agriculture could be described in one statement. “Productive but not profitable.” For decades the primary messaging to farmers and ranchers has been to become more productive. This messaging has worked wonderfully. Agriculture is more productive than we have ever been. However\, on average our farms and ranches are no more profitable than they have ever been. When considering all economic costs\, most farms and ranches operate at a loss more often than they make an economic profit. Becoming more productive has not made our farms and ranches more profitable. Are we focusing on the wrong thing? In this webinar\, Dallas Mount with Ranching for Profit\, will focus on changing the conversation from productivity to profitability by teaching you to better understand your gross margin per unit. \n\n\n\nGross Margin/Unit tells you the economic efficiency of your enterprise. You will learn how each production unit contributes to covering the overheads and profit of the business. Learning this measure is much more informative about how the enterprise is doing than a measure of productivity. \n\n\n\nIn the webinar Dallas will cover: \n\n\n\n\nKey differences in economics and finance\nUnderstanding enterprises on your farm/ranch\nWhat is gross margin?\nHow do we calculate gross margin?\nWhere to find opportunities to improve profitability on your farm/ranch

SUMMARY:Regenerative Brush Management with Allen Williams and Alejandro Carrillo from Understanding Ag
DESCRIPTION:For many ranches located in southern Texas\, New Mexico\, Arizona\, and many other parts of the southwest and Deep South\, brush encroachment is a major issue. Typical control methods have been comprised of extensive mechanical intervention and/or chemical applications. Planned burns have also been frequently employed. These methods are expensive and often have mixed results. We find ourselves repeating these control methods time after time. \nWhat if there is a better way to manage brush without having to rely on expensive inputs? \nCan we use regenerative grazing practices to effectively control brush encroachment and outcompete the brush with forage growth?  \nIn this webinar\, Allen Williams and Alejandro Carrillo will share tried and true methods of brush control and enhancing forage growth through practical strategies and actual case studies.Allen Williams and Alejandro Carrillo are partners in Understanding Ag\, LLC and at the Soil Health Academy. Combined\, they have consulted with over 4\,000 farmers and ranchers in the U.S.\, Canada\, Mexico\, South America\, and other countries\, on operations ranging from a few acres to over 1 million acres. \nClick Here to Register

SUMMARY:The Basics of Regenerative Grazing & Electric Fencing with Allen Williams from Understanding Ag
DESCRIPTION:What is Regenerative Grazing and how can we successfully implement it on our own ranch? In this webinar Allen Williams will help us: • Define regenerative grazing • Provide the foundational principles behind successful grazing • Explore real-life case studies • Look at how regenerative grazing not only benefits our soil\, forage biomass production\, and ecosystems\, but how it creates significant opportunities for greater net profits while reducing input costs To quote Don Campbell\, “To make small changes\, change the way you do things. To make big changes\, change the way we see things.” This webinar will help us see things in a different light. In this fast-changing agricultural landscape\, we need change that allows us to be financially successful; reduce dependence on expensive inputs; reduce our debt load; and increase the resilience of our soils\, plant\, and livestock. Allen Williams is a 6th generation family farmer and founding partner of Grass Fed Insights\, LLC\, Understanding Ag\, LLC and the Soil Health Academy. He has consulted with more than 4000 farmers and ranchers in the U.S.\, Canada\, Mexico\, South America\, and other countries\, on operations ranging from a few acres to over 1 million acres.

SUMMARY:How to do a Visual Soil Assessment
DESCRIPTION:The regeneration of your pastures is greatly influenced by soil quality. In this webinar\, Regenerative Ranching Consultant\, Kara Kroeger\, will demystify soil health as she walks you through how to do a Visual Soil Assessment (VSA) to identify and address soil aeration\, compaction\, infiltration\, water holding capacity\, and nutrient cycling. The best part about a VSA is that it's quick\, cheap\, and can be used by anyone\, anywhere. The added benefit is that through understanding and improving your soil health you can capture and store more carbon in your soils.
