In Nevada, CATTLE & SHEEP ARE THE REAL ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE, NOT WILD HORSES

wild horse populations are so dwarfed by the burgeoning overpopulation of cattle & sheep that their ecological impacts are negligible in comparison

The #ranchers want to use more and more of the #PublicLand the #WildHorses and #Burros live on to graze their privately-owned #livestock since it's #subsidized by your tax dollars.

Landmark court ruling will protect water sources, ranchers near Bull Mountains underground #coal #mine

“A federal #judge in #Montana District Court has halted the mining of federal coal at Signal Peak Energy’s Bull Mountains Underground Coal Mine near Roundup, pending a thorough analysis of the mine’s impacts on #ranchers, vital #water sources, and the surrounding #environment. The decision will require the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) to prepare an environmental impact statement to determine whether to allow a proposed 175-million-ton expansion to proceed. In approving the expansion, the #Trump administration’s OSM largely ignored the impacts.”

Despite improvements in #drought conditions, some #ag producers are still struggling. #Ranchers in Kansas can’t feed their #cattle. #Pasture production is low in central Oregon, and #wheat is growing slowly in Oklahoma.

January 25, 4-5 p.m., The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers with Ben Goldfarb

https://www.coastalrivers.org/event/life-of-beavers-with-ben-goldfarb/

Find out more about the growing coalition of “Beaver Believers”— including #scientists, #ranchers, and passionate citizens — recognizes that #ecosystems with #beavers are far healthier than those without them. From the #Nevada deserts to the Scottish highlands, Believers are hard at work restoring these industrious rodents to their former haunts.

“But if you love to fish, #beaver ponds are great places for trout to reproduce,” Biebighauser said. “If you love to watch #birds, you will see ducks, geese, herons, and many new #species you have probably never seen. These ponds also reduce the chances of severe #flooding and they restore #groundwater by recharging the aquifer. I know many #ranchers who have grown to love them once they realize the benefits.”

"The median salary for #carpenters in 2021 was $48,260 per year, according to the U.S. Bureau of #Labor Statistics. For #plumbers, #pipefitters and #steamfitters, that figure was $59,880, and for #farmers, #ranchers and #agricultural managers, $73,060.

"Still, filling #trade and #technical #jobs takes active recruitment...Now especially, there's an urgency to fill open posts...as the federal government funnels billions into projects to upgrade roads and transit systems"

African swine fever (ASF) is like Ebola for pigs. Fatal, fast, and hard to clean up.

“Over the years, people have tried live attenuated vaccines, they have tried killed vaccines, they have tried different cocktails of proteins that are expressed by the virus as a mechanism of protection,” said Guillermo Risatti, UConn professor of pathobiology. “But it never materialized into some sort of candidate.”

A very nice horse for sale in Marfa, 1939. Some classic hats in this shot, too! Taken by Russell Lee.

This is a terrible bombshell. My heart is breaking for all of those #farmers growing beans and peas that are the underpinnings of these products, and shed more tears for my friends in #PlantBased #CPG sector.

The industry had to know this was coming. Billions in valuations are going to be wiped out. Once again, people bought the hype end of the Gartner curve. I'd go long on animal proteins.

#Arkansas ranchers should see the work being done by @beefinitiative in Texas. Huge opportunity to increase sales, cut out middle men and provide top tier beef.
