Fishing and Rancher Water Conservation
When anglers think of clean water and access to fishing, do they often consider the conservation work by ranchers that make those opportunities possible? I decided to tackle this topic briefly for my column last week on the Rocky Boots blog. Give it a read. While many environmental conservation groups consider ‘natural’ to be leaving […]

Agriculture Advocacy More Than Social Media
On the road again this week and checking another Canadian province off my list. I was invited to speak at the Saskatchewan Stock Growers 103rd Annual General Meeting in Regina. This is just a 9 to 10 hour drive from home and a great time of year to make a drive across the green, wide open […]

I also enjoy visiting with ranchers, hearing their stories and learning how the same task (raising cattle) can become drastically different depending upon your location. Then again, I find that many things stay the same. So, it should come as no surprise that I feel very blessed […]
