The purpose of the 2020 Evaluation Report was to examine the benefits of conservation easements established on privately owned lands under the Texas Farm and Ranch Lands Conservation Program, TFRLCP, a state-funded program that purchases development rights from willing and interested landowners.

My birthday is a few weeks after Christmas, so I added the windfall cash I got as gifts to my little nest egg and realized I had enough for a new pair of boots.

While NRCS accepts easement applications on a continuous basis, applications for the next funding consideration must be submitted by March 1.

Texas A&M University graduate student Kristin Moncada is on her career path in poultry science and is helping other students access a unique experience within the industry.

The students get a week of experience in the field. They tour several Pilgrim’s operations, including Moncada’s European-style research facility, cover young hen management, breeder hen production, egg quality and fertilization concepts, and meet with professionals and executives within the industry for networking and knowledge-sharing.

The two-part seminar will be held on the Zoom platform, and anyone interested in bison, exotics and wildlife is welcome to register.
