Working Lands Collaborative: Save the Date Sept 24-25

The Working Lands Collaborative will host a two-day workshop Sept. 24 and 25 focused on soil health and regenerative agriculture practices. 

Sheridan County Conservation District Manager Carrie Rogaczewski and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservationist Andrew Cassiday made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to announce a save the date for the workshop.

Rogaczewski said the event will feature nationally recognized soil scientist Ray Archuleta and fourth-generation rancher Alejandro Carrillo, who is known for implementing regenerative grazing practices that have significantly increased livestock carrying capacity while reducing inputs. Cassiday told listeners the sagebrush steppe and northern mixed-grass prairie ecosystem that makes up the region is the type of environment that could benefit from the knowledge the scientists will share.

Registration will open later in the summer season and Rogaczewski said attendance will be limited and wished to alert those who may be interested to keep an eye out for further details. According to Rogaczewski, Carillo is a fourth-generation rancher in the Chihuahuan desert who has spent years travelling and learning from regenerative ranchers around the world. She said Carillo has lowered his inputs substantially and can carry three times more cattle than neighboring ranches on a per-acre basis.
