SUMMARY:Ranchers Face Another Dry Year: Live\, Virtual Panel to Tackle High‑Stakes Drought Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Good Grazing Make Cent$ is hosting a free virtual panel\, “When in Drought (2.0) – Making Tough Decisions Count\,” on May 27 at 7 p.m. (MST). The live discussion will stream on Facebook\, YouTube\, and Instagram\, and will be driven largely by questions from ranchers tuning in. \nThe panel will focus on the real‑world drought decisions that directly affect ranch profitability and long‑term viability: how to protect rangeland health and grazing capacity under pressure\, how unprecedented cattle markets should influence drought strategies\, and how to keep a ranch operating when dry years stack up.

SUMMARY:Grassland CRP Informational Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nLease your land for habitat with Grassland CRP\, enrollment open through May 29th. \nThe USDA has opened enrollment for the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program (Grassland CRP)\, offering landowners an opportunity to receive annual payments for maintaining and improving working grasslands. Unlike traditional CRP\, Grassland CRP functions more like a habitat lease. Producers can graze and hay while maintaining grassland habitat for wildlife. The program can help generate supplemental income while supporting both agricultural productivity and conservation\, particularly for rangeland operations. \nWe’re hosting a webinar to walk through theprogram and how to apply\, rental rates\, and perspectives from agency staff and landowners who have experience in the program.

SUMMARY:NRCS Regenerative Pilot Program: Making It Work for Your Operation
DESCRIPTION:Western Landowners Alliance is hosting an upcoming webinar on the USDA NRCS Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program and what it means for producers across the West. The webinar will provide an overview of NRCS’s new regenerative pilot effort\, which is designed to support producers in adopting conservation practices that improve soil health\, water quality\, and overall working lands resilience. The program builds on existing NRCS tools and programs\, such as conservation planning and financial assistance\, to better support whole-farm\, systems-based approaches to management. \nParticipants will hear directly from NRCS leadership\, including Eric McTaggart\, National Regenerative Pilot Coordinator\, who brings extensive experience in conservation planning and program delivery\, as well as Jackie Byam\, Wyoming State Conservationist\, and Andi Neugebauer-Bailey\, Wyoming State Resource Conservationist. Together\, they will share insights into how the pilot is being implemented\, how it fits within existing NRCS programs\, and what producers can expect when engaging with the effort. \nThe webinar will also feature producers with firsthand experience implementing conservation practices\, offering practical\, on-the-ground perspectives about what works\, what challenges to expect\, and how these practices can benefit agricultural operations in western landscapes.

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:Ranch Managers Guild - Virtual Fence Technologies on Working Lands
DESCRIPTION:This call will bring Ranch Managers Guild members together for a candid\, peer-to-peer discussion about the use of virtual fencing technologies in real-world ranch operations. Members will share firsthand experiences with different systems\, what it actually takes to implement and operate them\, and how the technology is affecting cattle behavior\, labor\, costs\, and management flexibility. The goal is to move beyond marketing claims and focus on practical lessons learned from managers who are using or seriously evaluating virtual fencing.  \nWe’ll discuss:  \n\nOverall experiences using virtual fencing in day-to-day operations \n\n\nUpfront and ongoing costs\, including installation\, labor\, and maintenance \n\n\nUnintended consequences\, limitations\, or surprising outcomes \n\n\nComparisons between different virtual fencing companies and platforms \n\n\nHow cattle have responded and adapted over time \n\n\nThe realities of operating the apps and managing herds digitally \n\n\nHow to identify cost-share programs and funding opportunities \n\nParticipation is reserved for active members of the Ranch Managers Guild.

SUMMARY:Ranch Managers Guild - Hunt Management
DESCRIPTION:Our January Ranch Managers Guild Zoom meeting will facilitate knowledge sharing and networking on the topic of hunt management. Participants will share how hunting fits into their operations\, what’s working\, what’s challenging\, and how they navigate wildlife management\, regulations\, and landowner objectives. The goal is not to present “best practices\,” but to surface real-world approaches\, lessons learned\, and questions worth exploring together.  \nDiscussion questions will include:  \n\nHow does hunting fit into your ranch’s overall management goals (ecological\, economic\, and social)? \n\n\nWhat hunting models are you using (membership\, guided\, commercial\, family/staff\, mitigation-focused)\, and why? \n\n\nWhere do you see opportunities or barriers (policy\, liability\, access\, or capacity) to improving your hunting program? \n\n\nWhat questions are you currently wrestling with that you’d like input from fellow managers on? \n\nParticipation is reserved for active members of the Ranch Managers Guild. Not signed up yet? You can sign up here today.

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.
