Water Wise Grazing Field Day

Clayton Livestock Research Center 15 NMSU Lane, Clayton, NM

he Ogallala aquifer in Eastern New Mexico is in dramatic decline with only a few years of groundwater left by some estimates. This field day and hands-on learning session will showcase strategies and tools to respond to this acute water crisis by prioritizing soil health.

The day starts at the Clayton Livestock Research Center with highlights of current ongoing research at the Center. A presentation by the USDA Southwest Climate Hub will introduce online tools to develop grazing plans: TOBI, Grass-Cast and Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP).

After lunch, you’re invited to see several center pivot fields operated by our host Glenn Duff about 17 miles South of Clayton. Glenn uses cover crops in annual grain rotations and has been experimenting with planting different forages and perennial pasture in order to conserve water. Instead of harvesting alfalfa which removes biomass, he grazes it with his small herd of cattle, feeding the soil at the same time.

Rajan Ghimere (NMSU’s Cropping Systems and Soil Management Research Laboratory) will present associated research his team is carrying out at Glenn’s fields.

Practical Approaches to Building Soil Health on Rangelands

Perryton, TX Perryton, TX

Ranchers on unirrigated pastures have traditionally had limited options for large-scale tools that affect soil health. Emerging research suggests that using materials like compost and biochar (a charcoal-like substance made from waste wood) may be as effective for holding soil moisture and protecting the surface from erosion as bale grazing is known to be. However, we know that not every area responds the same way to management practices. Join us to be part of setting up a new demonstration site at a ranch owned by a New Agrarian Program alum in the Texas panhandle to compare these practices side-by-side.

Central Coast Rangeland Coalition Fall 2024 Workshop

Cal Poly Beef Center Pennington Road, San Luis Obispo, CA, United States

Restoration and improvement plays an important role in the management of rangeland systems and consists of many different complex ecological and social processes. Exploring the restoration and improvement process with its associated social aspects like funding and collaboration opportunities is imperative for assuring the future health of rangelands on the central coast of California.
