Water Wise Grazing Field Day
Water Wise Grazing Field Day
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.

2024 Fall Rangeland Forum – Digging in…to Soil Health

Blackfeet Retreat
The idea for the Rooted in the Land program emerged from our initial conversations with a small group of Indigenous women ranchers. They brought to light their communities’ urgent needs and, most importantly, asked, “What is Women In Ranching going to do about it?”
Acknowledging the historical and systemic inequities faced by Indigenous land stewards, and recognizing that true leadership must come from within the community, the program was realized in 2023 when Erin Thomas of the Navajo Nation and Tiffany St. Goddard of the Blackfeet Nation answered the call as co-leaders.
While Women In Ranching provides support, it is Erin and Tiffany’s leadership that listens to their communities, drives the initiative, and organizes gatherings like this one.
Practical Approaches to Building Soil Health on Rangelands
Practical Approaches to Building Soil Health on Rangelands
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.
