Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

TO GUIDE FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN APPLYING REGENERATIVE PRINCIPLES THAT YIELD HEALTHIER SOIL, MORE PRODUCTIVE GRAZING LAND, AND BUSINESS SUCCESS. (SEE SCHEDULE O)AS THE PRIMARY TOOL FOR LAND TRANSFORMATION, THE INSTITUTE SEEKS TO ENGAGE AND BUILD KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE IN U.S. FARMERS AND RANCHERS THROUGH INSTITUTE-HOSTED EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES.THESE EXPERIENCES PROVIDE PATHWAYS FOR TRANSFERRING INSTITUTE RESEARCH OUTCOMES AND OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCES. THE INSTITUTE CONDUCTS PRACTICAL, GRAZING LAND-FOCUSED AGRICULTURE RESEARCH TO OBSERVE, MEASURE, STUDY, AND ASSESS THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICE RESPONSES TO LAND MANAGEMENT. THIS LANDSCAPE-SCALE RESEARCH OCCURS ON INSTITUTE RANCHES AS WELL AS OTHER U.S. GRAZING PROPERTIES. THIS RESEARCH IS PERFORMED, IN PART, IN CONJUNCTION WITH BOTH LAND GRANT UNIVERSITIES AND NON-LAND GRANT COLLEGES OF AGRICULTURE. THE INSTITUTE FURTHER REGENERATIVELY MANAGES ALMOST 14,000 ACRES OF INTRODUCED PASTURE AND NATIVE GRAZING LANDS IN SOUTHERN OK.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE INSTITUTE'S EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO PERFORM AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH IN THE PUBLIC (SEE SCHEDULE O) INTEREST WITH THE GOAL OF ECOLOGICALLY REGENERATING U.S. GRAZING LANDS THROUGH GUIDING FARMERS AND RANCHERS IN APPLYING REGENERATIVE PRINCIPLES.

  • GRAZING LANDS RESEARCHTHE INSTITUTE'S GRAZING LAND-FOCUSED RESEARCH ENCOMPASSES DIFFERING ENVIRONMENTS (E.G., SILVOPASTURE, INTRODUCED PASTURE, NATIVE RANGE), PRODUCTION SYSTEMS, AND GEOGRAPHIES, BUT THEY COLLECTIVELY REPRESENT A COMMON APPROACH OF PRACTICAL, GRAZING LAND RESEARCH TO OBSERVE, MEASURE, STUDY, AND ASSESS THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICE RESPONSES TO LAND MANAGEMENT ACCORDINGLY TO THE SIX SOIL HEALTH PRINCIPLES. THIS RESEARCH SEEKS TO APPLY SCIENCE TO VALIDATE REPORTED RESEARCH, OFFER NEW PUBLISHABLE INSIGHTS INTO SOIL HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY, AND ADDRESS U.S. FARMER AND RANCHER CHALLENGES.(SEE SCHEDULE O)THE INSTITUTE CONDUCTS THIS RESEARCH, IN PART, IN CONJUNCTION WITH BOTH LAND GRANT UNIVERSITIES AND NON-LAND GRANT COLLEGES OF AGRICULTURE.A KEY RESEARCH EMPHASIS CONCERNS SOIL HEALTH-FOCUSED MANAGEMENT IN SILVOPASTURE ENVRIONMENTS. RESEARCH MEASUREMENT AND OBSERVATION INCLUDES SOIL HEALTH, OVERALL ECOSYSTEM SERVICES RESPONSE AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY. THE INSTITUTE IS PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON ASSESSMENT IN PECAN ORCHARD ENVIRONMENTS.THE RESEARCH ENTERED ITS FIRST YEAR OF MONITORING CHANGES IN SOIL HEALTH IN THE ORCHARDS AT THE INSTITUTE, WHICH ARE UNDER REGENERATIVE MANAGEMENT WITH GRAZING LIVESTOCK USING ADAPTIVE MULTI-PADDOCK GRAZING, USE OF COVER CROPS, AND LIMITED-TO-NO INPUT APPLICATIONS. THE PROJECT WILL ENCOMPASS EXTERNAL ORCHARDS ACROSS OKLAHOMA (TULSA-AREA AND SOUTH CENTRAL) AND TEXAS (NORTH CENTRAL, AUSTIN-AREA AND SOUTH CENTRAL) REPRESENTING DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO IDENTIFY ORCHARD PRACTICES THAT LEAD TO IMPROVED LEVELS OF SOIL HEALTH, ECOSYSTEM RESILIENCY, AND INCREASED ECONOMIC MEASURES PER ACRE. PRIMARY MEASUREMENTS WILL CONCERN THE IMPACT OF MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES ON COMMODITY TREE SYSTEMS AND PRODUCTS TO ACCOUNT FOR (A) SOIL HEALTH, (B) ORCHARD HEALTH, (C) FSMA-ASSOCIATED RECOMMENDED GRAZING RESTRICTIONS, AND (D) NUT NUTRIENT VALUE.ONE COMPONENT OF THIS RESEARCH INVOLVES THE COLLECTION, MEASUREMENT AND QUANTIFICATION OF E. COLI FROM THE ORCHARD FLOOR IN CONJUNCTION WITH OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY, A LAND GRANT UNIVERSITY.ANOTHER KEY RESEARCH EMPHASIS ASSESSES THE IMPACT OF GRAZING MANAGEMENT ON SOIL HEALTH AND ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS IN GRAZING LANDS LOCATED IN OKLAHOMA, TEXAS, MICHIGAN, COLORADO, AND WYOMING. FUNDED, IN PART, BY THE FOUNDATION FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE RESEARCH, THE INSTITUTE LEADS A RESEARCH COLLABORATION INVOLVING, AND OPERATING IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THE FOLLOWING LAND GRANT UNIVERSIITES: MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERISTY, COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, AND OREGON STATE UNIVESITY. THE RESEARCH INVOLVES IDENTIFYING ECOLOGICAL METRICS, INFLUENCING MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS, INCLUDING FARMER AND RANCHER WELL-BEING. THE RESEARCH TEAM IS INTENSIVELY MEASURING WATER AND MINERAL CYCLES, ENERGY FLOW AND COMMUNITY DYNAMICS IN CONTRASTING GRAZING MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES (ADAPTIVE VS PRESCRIPTIVE) IN TWO OF THE INSTITUTE'S RANCHES (NATIVE RANGELAND AND BERMUDAGRASS BASED PASTURE) AND THE OTHER UNIVERSITY HUBS (MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY AND UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING). METRICS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, VEGETATION DIVERSITY, WATER INFILTRATION, SOIL CARBON AND NITROGEN STOCKS, CO2 EXCHANGE, SOIL MICROBES, NUTRIENT CYCLING PROCESSES. THESE MEASURES WILL BE MONITORED OVER FIVE YEARS. THE GOAL IS TO CHARACTERIZE DRIVERS AND BARRIERS TO RANCHERS' ADOPTION OF REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE PRINCIPLES. PROJECT RESULTS WILL BE LONG-TERM AND COMPREHENSIVE SOIL HEALTH MONITORING OF DIFFERENT GRAZING MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND PUBLISHED RESULTS. THE INTENT IS TO UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SOIL HEALTH INDICATORS AND GRAZING MANAGEMENT AS WELL AS TO INFORM GRAZING MANAGEMENT DECISIONS WITH SOCIAL, ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL OUTCOMES.ANOTHER KEY RESEARCH EMPHASIS INVOLVES THE MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING OF INSTITUTE RANCHES UNDER REGENERATIVE MANAGEMENT AS IT RELATES TO SOIL HEALTH, GRAZING LAND PRODUCTIVITY, AND ECONOMIC VIABILITY. THE PROJECT INCLUDED TAKING BASELINE MEASUREMENTS AT 144 SITES ACROSS SIX RANCHES AND 1,400 ACRES. THE TEAM CONCLUDED ITS FIRST YEAR OF MONITORING THE SOILS, VEGETATION, WATER, AND WILDLIFE. MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, FROM WATERFOWL MONITORING IN THE WINTER, SMALL MAMMAL SURVEY, SURFACE WATER QUALITY, AND SOIL AND VEGETATION IN THE SPRING; WATER INFILTRATION, EARTHWORMS, AVIAN ACOUSTIC MONITORING, AND TERRESTRIAL MAMMAL SURVEY IN THE SUMMER; AND SURFACE WATER QUALITY, VEGETATION, POLLINATOR SURVEY, AND THE NATIONWIDE SNAPSHOT CAMERA MAMMAL SURVEY IN THE FALL.ONE COMPONENT OF THIS RESEARCH INVOLVES THE MEASUREMENT AND QUANTIFICATION OF SOIL BIOLOGICAL POPULATIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AT LEAST THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, A NON-LAND GRANT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE.PROJECT OUTCOMES WILL BE PUBLISHED AND BROADLY DISSEMINATED.REGARDING THE RESEARCH DESCRIBED ABOVE INVOLVING INSTITUTE RANCHES, THE INSTITUTE OPERATES AND REGENERATIVELY MANAGES SEVEN OKLAHOMA RANCHES TOTALING ALMOST 14,000 ACRES. THE RANCHES PRODUCE CATTLE, GOATS, AND SHEEP AND, ON SOME, NATIVE AND INTRODUCED PECANS. IN ADDITION TO SERVING AS WORKING RANCHES, THESE RANCHES DEMONSTRATE REGENERATIVE MANAGEMENT FOR VISITING FARMERS AND RANCHERS, AND, AS EXTENSIVELY NOTED ABOVE, SERVE AS LIVING LABORATORIES FOR OBSERVATION, MEASUREMENT, RESEARCH, AND STUDY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
