SUMMARY:Passing the Reins: A Succession Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:With more ranchers reaching retirement age\, the need for thoughtful succession planning is becoming increasingly important. Simultaneously\, the next generation of agrarians is seeking opportunities to become future land stewards. Passing the Reins: A Succession Planning Workshop is designed to spark meaningful conversations\, share examples of successful transitions\, and build a supportive community for both new agrarians and seasoned farmers and ranchers. \nThe workshop will dive into the legal side of succession as well as the lesser-discussed interpersonal dynamics that can make the process so challenging. \n• A panel discussion of farmers and ranchers who have creatively and successfully navigated succession will offer their perspectives\n• Break-out sessions for both experienced and beginning agrarians will give participants an opportunity to learn from their peers.\n• Those who attend the workshop will leave with a toolkit for knowing what questions to ask as they start their succession planning journey. \nCoffee\, light snacks\, and lunch will be provided. Fee for the workshop is on a sliding scale\, $0-100. Additional donations are also appreciated. \nLodging: Attendees can reserve hotel rooms for March 15-16 at the Sleep Inn & Suites Miles City until February 16\, 2026. Call (406) 232-3000 to reserve a room in the “Succession Planning Group” block at a discounted rate of $139/night. Limited rooms are available. (See financial support info below for assistance with lodging costs.) \nQuestions about the workshop? Contact Mattie Griswold at mattie@quiviracoalition.org. \nAdditional Financial Support: If you are a Montana resident and are interested in receiving financial support for registration and/or lodging\, funding is available from Rural Employment Opportunities of Montana.

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:Stewarding our Water Future Conference
DESCRIPTION:Ogallala Commons invites you to register for our upcoming regional education event\, a “Stewarding Our Water Future” Conference on March 26-27\, 2026\, at the Burlington Community Center in Burlington\, CO! \nThursday\, March 26th features a full day of conference presentations and exhibitions from 9:00 am – 4:30 pm\, followed by a couple of Field Tours on Friday morning\, March 27th (finishing with lunch then adjournment at 1pm Mountain Time. \nThe conference is presented by Ogallala Commons\, with generous grant funding from the Gates Family Foundation. \nPurpose of the Conference: \nWith irrigation prospects and domestic well levels dwindling\, along with greatly reduced surface water in our rivers and tributaries\, it’s easy to get discouraged about future water resources in the eastern Plains of Colorado. \nFor more than a century\, human communities made a living by extracting large amounts of water from local landscapes. But going forward\, our well-being and survival will depend on how well we keep water circulating in the landscapes\, finding ways to rehydrate our soils\, our streambeds and grasslands. \nThe purpose of this conference is: 1) to shift the public conversation about water depletion toward a more hopeful narrative built on a wide range of innovative solutions\, and 2) to expand the stakeholder coalition focused on improving the water realities we leave for future generations. \nIn addition to more than seven sessions featuring 11 speakers on March 26th\, the second day will offer three Field Tours on Friday morning\, March 27th\, conducted in the Burlington area (make sure you choose a tour when registering). There is also an option for attending only one day of the conference or only the Field Tours.

SUMMARY:PRESERVED: The Story of Ted Turner's Vermejo
DESCRIPTION:GUEST SPEAKERS INCLUDE  DEB HAALAND\, BEN CLARK\, LANCE BERNAL\, ABQ TROUT UNLIMITED REP. HARRIS KLEIN\, and WESTERN LANDOWNERS ALLIANCE’S ANABELLA MILLER! \nIn an era of wildfires\, drought\, and species decline\, Vermejo is proof that ecosystem restoration is possible. And it’s a blueprint for where it can happen next. PRESERVED is more than a film—it’s a call to action. From farmers and ranchers to hikers and hunters\, we all have a role to play.  For nearly 175 years\, the Southwestern United States has seen civilizations rise and fall\, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and industry. Northern New Mexico’s 560\,000-acre Vermejo is one such place—a land rich with history\, from dinosaurs and early Indigenous communities to homesteaders\, a conservation-minded grain baron\, and Hollywood’s glitterati seeking outdoor recreation. But modern times took their toll\, leaving it overgrazed and scarred by mining.  In 1996\, Ted Turner bought the land as part of his work to restore and protect lands across the United States. A dedicated team began to work to heal the land\, transforming it into a thriving sanctuary. Today\, Vermejo stands as a testament to what’s possible: biodiversity restored\, landscapes reborn\, and a model for global conservation.
