Ranching, as part of a comprehensive approach to agriculture, is in a unique position to restore native grasslands. We’ve partnered with the Audubon Conservation Ranching program to provide all of our ranches with habitat management plans to preserve and protect wildlife and native and migratory birds. Our ranchers employ pasture rotation and land-management practices that protect delicate rangeland ecosystems. By keeping soil covered with cover crops, minimizing soil disturbance, maximizing bio-diversity of crops and integrating livestock, our ranchers are helping to rebuild organic matter and restore degraded soil. This has been proven to assist with carbon sequestration and improve the water cycle.
