'Poor #policy , #neglect and large-scale #rangeland mismanagement had eroded #soils , releasing #carbon rather than storing it, and stripped the earth of the #nutrients needed to support #plant and #animal life.

A network to grow small #diverse #farms , enable access by wannabe #regens & a start at reversing decades of consolidation!?

Let's go!

Any navigators-to-be on southern high plains?

Things heard:
'Towns like Nazareth or Silverton are effectively post- #irrigation already.
Smaller.'

'Those big #rural [industrial ag] facilities are worked by 'invisible people' ( #immigrant , #migrant , poor), makes #data collection & reporting hard

We get a summer intern! Huge thanks to Ogallala Commons, the Range & Kirk 🤠

Did a short inspection tour Saturday, visited #JohnRay & #ranch #creek stretches we worked last year. Looking good. Waiting for rain.

We've experienced little to no #runoff this year
☔⛈️🌦️🌧️🙏🏽

Say a multimillion $ #dairy built 8 years ago is on a 30 year note.

They expect to run out of water in 5-10 years.

What to be done!?
Go somewhere else & dry up that landscape, or...

A hot sunny day
dries surface water away

'a #lake in these more #arid regions of #Texas would have dropped nearly seven feet just due to #evaporation , without any human #water #supply withdrawals.

The secret is out! 🤫 Tereza Bízková 🌿🇨🇴 & I are taking over Season 4 of ReFi Podcast 🎉💜Huge thanks to jE ❤️🌍🙏 Regeneration for leading the charge on #ReFi education 🫡 We're honored to offer our take on the new season 'The Regeneration Nexus' 🌐blog.refidao.com/season-4-refi-…

We're often asked, why/what for #refi !?

One good answer being, this 👇 #lfg

Looking at large-scale #watershed management, restoration #NIDS , & regeneration efforts in the Dutch Hill Watershed, Sonoma County, with Brock Dolman, Occidental Arts & Ecology Center ( #OAEC ) 🙌 #bethebeaver

This is a blatant attempt at thwarting my first amendment rights and I will vigorously defend myself. The Railroad Commission of Texas will not get away with filing fraudulent TFRs - Texans will continue to see their failures.

Re: socialized costs of US livestock.
Not only are leases too cheap, PEER's analysis found that '56.7 mill ac of BLM rangeland fail to meet the agency’s land health standards, primarily owing to livestock grazing'.
Agricultural exceptionalism still going strong in the 21st C!

Customer from several years ago sent this photo after recent rains. Harvesting rainwater and holding it on the land makes rainfall more effective. We get big rains , they come fast. Sometimes it doesn’t rain again for months. Gotta make it count when it comes.
