Ready to work with nature instead of against it? Join the Small Producers Initiative (SPI) for a hands-on, two-day intensive at SKM Ranch in Fentress, TX. Whether you are just starting or looking to refine your stewardship, this workshop is designed to help you boost soil health, animal wellness, and your bottom line.
Led by Dr. Ken Mix (SPI Director) and Christine Martin (HMI Certified Educator), you’ll learn the practical "how-to" of adaptive grazing. We’ll dive deep into reading the landscape, monitoring soil metrics, and using holistic planning to ensure your ranch is both ecologically resilient and economically profitable.
What We’ll Cover:
Soil & Ecosystem Health: Strategies to improve biological processes and drought resilience.
Landscape "Reading": Tools to assess land and herd health in real-time.
Holistic Planned Grazing: Balancing management goals with your quality of life.
Profitability: Addressing "weak links" in your operation to improve margins.
Support Systems: Programs specifically designed to help small producers thrive.
