At Noble, we believe the health of soil, plants, animals and humans is one and indivisible. We believe in rebuilding healthy soils and helping producers maintain a strong bottom line. Through these two actions, we can transform degraded grazing lands across the United States, benefiting the environment and society as a whole. Our focus is to help farmers and ranchers apply regenerative ranching principles to the nation’s 654 million grazing lands. This monumental undertaking requires thousands of producers across the U.S. to overcome significant barriers and change their current practices to work with nature, not against it.

SOIL FACTS: The darker the soil, the higher the organic matter content. Why does that matter? Organic matter is full of nutrients and retains water in the soil. It helps to reduce compaction and surface crusting. That means more grass and less bare ground. Want to learn how you can increase organic matter in your soil? Join us for our Noble Land Essentials course in Huntsville, Texas, on Oct. 30-31. We discuss soil facts and how they can improve your land. LEARN MORE: https://lnkd.in/g9j9THgG

From traditional to regenerative, our ranchers have seen and done it all. Three of our ranch managers share their experiences transitioning to regenerative management on their personal ranches. Here’s what each of them had to say about adopting regenerative practices: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐬 | 𝐎𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 “I’m going to try to reduce my cow herds a little bit and have enough grass to go through the winter. I’ve seen that it already works better; you make more profit without all the inputs — even with half the cattle, you can make more profit.” 𝐉𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬 | 𝐎𝐬𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 “When you cut hay, you’re robbing from the soil. So, we’ve always cut, then tried to go back and feed that hay to where we cut it, so that nutrition — the manure and the urine — goes back into that land.” 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐚 | 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫 “The last time I sprayed my grass for weeds, the bottom of the hose on my sprayer got hooked on something and pulled off. There was a lot of money draining into the ground. I was trying to capture it before it all ran out of the tank, and I ended up taking a shower in that spray. I thought, ‘Man, there’s got to be a better way.’” Learn more about our ranch managers’ journeys toward regenerative ranching: https://lnkd.in/gHQXYdtT
