Noble Learning

Noble Research Institute’s inaugural two-day training event, Essentials of Regenerative Ranching, brought together farmers and ranchers who are eager to improve the health of their land, livestock, and livelihood.
This first delivery of the course, conducted July 11-12, 2023, at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, provided producers with an immersive experience that combined facilitator-led classroom learning with hands-on activities in the field, as well as ample opportunities for ranchers to connect and problem-solve with their peers.

Land Market Report: July Land Sales

By Jared Groce
Demand remains strong for some properties, while the number of buyers for others has dropped. We are seeing a decrease in the demand for lower price point homes, with increased demand for raw land over $1,000,000. There is still a lot of people with 1031 money who are trying to defer capital gains taxes, and they have a limited amount of time to get that money spent.
The higher interest rates are keeping first-time home buyers on the sidelines, as well as folks who need to borrow a lot of the money to buy and build on land.

Dr. Ron Gill: Extension and Education

By Dani Blackburn, [email protected]
There might be no greater way to impact the world than through the agricultural industry. How we grow our food, what we eat, and our future all depend on those farmers, ranchers, and professionals working tirelessly to ensure the industry is at its best.
The determination of many countless individuals can lead to significant progress within agriculture. One person who has spent decades making a difference via agricultural education while encouraging a balance of integration and practicality is Dr. Ron Gill, Texas A&M professor and Extension livestock specialist and associate department head for Extension.

Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch

By Rayford Pullen, [email protected]
I really hate to mention this, but there are about 75 days until we expect the first freeze here in North Texas, which occurs around November 15. I mention this because if we are going to make any pasture changes, like overseed or disc for winter pasture production, the time is near.
Temperatures normally begin falling the last week or so of this month while at the same time, day length gets progressively shorter. If we want fall and winter grazing, we need to have these crops up and growing as quickly as possible while the rowing conditions are still good.
