Positive Land Use Practices

“The relationship of a man to his land is never easy. It is perhaps the noblest relationship in the world, after the family, and certainly the most rewarding” - James A. Michener, Centennial

Land ownership, farming, and ranching is a balancing act. There is never a one size fits all solution to every concern. Producers must be aware of, and willing to use, every tool available to balance the need for productivity and sustainability for short term efficiency and long-term viability. Below are just a few of the land use practices that can help landowners make improvements on their property.

Critical Area Planting

Repair field washouts with grass waterways, establish vegetative buffer strips and bioreactors, restore saline affected soils, or address other unique issues.

Wetland Restoration

Seed wetland species in natural basins or low lying areas for wildlife habitat and improved hydrologic function and flow.

Tree Planting

Establish shelterbelts, silvopasture, orchards, or forests providing food, cover and space for wildlife, livestock and people.

Cover Crops

Capture all available sunlight by planting cover crops, before, after, or between your primary crops.

Native Grasslands Restoration

Establish or interseed existing rangeland with diverse native grass, forb, and flower mixes.

Reduced Tillage

Reduce soil disturbance, trapping stored carbon and increasing subterranean microbial activity.
