Five Essentials Of Successful Ranches

Strategic Planning: Hollistic And Integrative Nearly 20 years ago, I was asked to give a talk to several groups about “10 ideas or practices from which our ranch has benefited the most in the last five years.” I made the list of 10 and gave the talks, which seemed to be well received. Since then I have reviewed the talk on several occasions. I soon consolidated the list to five and remain satisfied that they are essential to good success and, when thought of broadly, cover everything a manager needs to consider to have excellent results. Five essentials A lifelong approach to management needs to be both integrative and holistic. We must strive for continuous improvement of the key resources. On most ranches these will be land, livestock, and people; but could expand to include wildlife or other resources. We must assemble and use good analysis and decision-making tools.

An odd thought about ethanol

At least in one aspect, the renewable fuel should have quelled the debunkers. The cars and pickups you drive are running longer than ever. Recently I was having dinner with a few farmers and we got to talking about ethanol - they are members of their state's commodity groups and they support ethanol. And I was sharing how whenever I write about ethanol, I will get a note or comment from someone who hates the fuel. It doesn't happen every time (and ethanol haters are welcome to comment below) but it does happen. After all these years of burning E10 (or higher) in our gasoline, I still have people claiming the fuel is a disaster for cars and longevity, etc. And for very old cars that could very well be true, but it sure isn't for newer cars. I'll share an interesting fact. During the Detroit Auto Show - or the North American International Auto Show - on a radio interview one executive noted that while car sales are rising again, well past the slump of 2008, there

Farm to Fork Across America: AllStar Organics Farm -- Infusions and Blends for an Appreciative Market

Co-Authored with Lee Glenn Every Saturday of the year, the San Francisco Ferry Building is alive with a magnificent farmers' market. Camped in with the veggie, fruit, meat, fish, bread, flowers, food and coffee vendors is CUESA, the organization that manages the market. At their tent with seating for 100, CUESA produces and leads a weekly educational outreach focusing on sustainable foods allowing farmers to showcase their products and chefs to conduct cooking classes using the products of the market. One gorgeous San Francisco summer day, I'm at the market as usual and find myself captivated by Janet Brown's CUESA presentation on hydrosols and essential oils. Janet is demonstrating how herbs and flowers grown on her farm, AllStar Organics, are made into value added products that have positive impacts on personal wellbeing. Learning more about this process requires a full day visit to Janet and partner, Marty Jacobson's farm locations in Petaluma and Nicas
