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. We must wage war on cost. We must place an emphasis on marketing. Over time in this column, I wil

How Biodiesel Came Into the Picture

“We” had too much -an overproduction of- soybean oil, so a farm checkoff program led to the funding necessary to begin what is now a major biodiesel industry (with taxpayer help). Every couple of years, the biodiesel per gallon tax credit is passed (usually retroactive to the last lapse of coverage) in Congress in their “cleaning up” end of the year bill. credit: unitedsoybean.org

USDA says carbon dioxide can reverse effects of drought

USDA Scientists Study Effects of Rising Carbon Dioxide on Rangelands By Don Comis Rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can reverse the drying effects of predicted higher temperatures on semi-arid rangelands, according to a study published today in the scientific journal Nature by a team of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and university scientists. Warmer temperatures increase water loss to the atmosphere, leading to drier soils. In contrast, higher CO2 levels cause leaf stomatal pores to partly close, lessening the amount of water vapor that escapes and the amount of water plants draw from soil. This new study finds that CO2 does more to counterbalance warming-induced water loss than previously expected. In fact, simulations of levels of warming and CO2 predicted for later this century demonstrated no net change in soil water, and actually increased levels of plant growth for warm-season grasses. "By combining higher temperatures with elevated CO2 levels in an e
