SUMMARY:The Economics and Natural Resource Benefits of Virtual Fencing in the Western US
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar produced by the United States Department of Agriculture’s research lab at the Jornada Experimental Range\, researchers will share insights from producer-focused surveys\, adoption studies\, and economic modeling of VF systems in the Southwest and Southern Plains. Speakers will discuss how ranch size\, herd size\, and producer preferences—such as precision grazing\, herd tracking\, and fencing alternatives—shape adoption decisions. The presentation will highlight the costs and benefits of VF relative to traditional fencing\, emphasizing practical break-even thresholds and producer tradeoffs. Speakers will also explore how VF can serve as a natural resource management tool in ecologically sensitive areas. Drawing on cattle–elk conflict simulation and AI decision-support systems\, researchers will demonstrate how VF can be paired with satellite imagery\, drone flights\, and AI grazing models to improve conservation outcomes.

SUMMARY:EQIP Bridge Loan Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Farmers\, ranchers\, and conservation partners: join Food System 6 on March 17 for a webinar on the 0% EQIP Bridge Loan Program. \nMany farmers want to implement conservation practices through USDA’s EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program)\, but there’s a major barrier: producers typically have to pay upfront for the work and wait months for reimbursement. \nThe EQIP Bridge Loan Program helps solve that problem. \nFood System 6 provides 0% bridge loans so producers can cover upfront project costs and then repay the loan once their EQIP reimbursement arrives. \nIn this webinar we’ll cover: \n• How the program works• Who is eligible• How applications are evaluated• What documents you’ll need• Live Q&A \nWho should attend: Farmers\, ranchers\, landowners\, and organizations supporting producers in eligible states who are implementing EQIP-funded conservation projects. \n Tuesday\, March 17Morning session: 7:30 AM MTEvening session: 6:30 PM MT \n Register here:https://lnkd.in/g5RAU7-3 \nThe program is run by Food System 6 and sponsored by the SHOT Fund.

SUMMARY:Bringing Water Back to the Land
DESCRIPTION:Featuring guest speakers Autumn Holzgen of the Montana Conservation Corps and Shelby Weigand of the National Wildlife Federation. Autumn & Shelby will talk about riparian systems – what’s healthy\, what’s degrading\, and how to recognize both. Then they will move into restoration methods with a focus on low-tech process-based restoration. Finally\, they’ll share resources available for landowners that are interested in restoring and improving their riparian systems.

SUMMARY:Innovations in Rangeland & Livestock Management Webinar: Grazing Management for a Resilient Ranch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a grounded\, practical look at how virtual fencing\, remote water sensors\, and a focus on soil health can make grazing management more practical and adaptable on working ranches. \nJim Armendariz (NRCS State Rangeland Management Specialist) will present on the use of these tools and how they have benefitted his family’s ranch. He’ll also walk through funding options that can help cover equipment and start-up costs and discuss how his focus on soil health has simplified grazing management\, making it more intuitive\, efficient\, and adaptable. \nHosted by the USDA-ARS Jornada Experimental Range and NMSU’s Department of Animal and Range Sciences\, this webinar series brings forward innovations in rangeland and livestock management from the U.S. and beyond. From new technologies to fresh perspectives on time-tested practices\, each session is designed to spark ideas and share practical insights. Our first series spotlights virtual fencing\, exploring its applications for grazing management\, livestock production\, and ecosystem restoration.

SUMMARY:Profit Decisions: Avoiding the Five Mistakes Ag Producers Make
DESCRIPTION:What are the foolish uses of profit and what are the wise uses of profit? \nDr. David Kohl\, a leader in the ag finance space recently said\, “I’m worried about the beef industry – the worst decisions are made in the best of times.” He is talking about foolish decision with deploying profit. Many of those decisions will be made between now and the end of the calendar year in the name of tax avoidance. \nRanching for Profit has asked Dr. Kohl to join us on a webinar\, open to all in the ag community who want to dig deeper into this.

SUMMARY:Webinar Supporting Vibrant Rural Communities through Place-Based Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Join the Montana Conflict Reduction Consortium (CRC) for a webinar on novel funding opportunities supporting communities managing wildlife-livestock conflicts and to engage with producers and practitioners developing community-led solutions to natural resource challenges.  \nThe Montana CRC\, convened by Western Landowners Alliance\, is a diverse\, landowner-led network of partners working to reduce wildlife-livestock conflicts and support working landscapes in Montana. This group is working to further community and place-based efforts that reduce wildlife conflicts and support the economic viability of rural communities in the State. \nPlace-based groups lift community needs\, while finding areas of agreement and shared purpose to meet a variety of resource challenges. Examples of these groups within Montana include the Madison Valley Ranchlands Group\, Big Hole Watershed Committee\, the Blackfoot Challenge\, and the Centennial Valley Association.  \nThese groups\, many of which are landowner and livestock producer-led\, may include all or part of a particular community and offer a way to meaningfully engage state and federal wildlife agencies\, non-profit organizations and other stakeholder groups to achieve community needs and  outcomes supporting working lands and wildlife.  \nWithin this webinar\, presenters and panelists will convey how these groups form\, focus conflicting ideas towards shared vision\, and move ideas to implementation.  \nThis will be paired with information on the Montana Community-Bear Conflict Prevention Efforts Fund fall opportunity\, of which place-based groups are eligible to apply. This funding opportunity is made possible through a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation awarded to Montana Fish\, Wildlife & Parks\, in partnership with Heart of the Rockies Initiative. Requests for proposals will be made available in mid-to late-August\, prioritizing community-led projects that work to reduce grizzly bear conflicts.  \nWhether you’re a ranch manager\, landowner\, or conservation partner\, this is your chance to learn ways to support the resilience of communities throughout Montana and develop and fund projects addressing human-bear conflicts.  \n
