Noble Research Institute, a trusted resource for farmers and ranchers since 1945, has joined forces with Certified Angus Beef, a brand renowned for its commitment to quality beef, to develop and deliver ‘Land Stewardship,’ an educational course aimed at empowering livestock producers globally.
This comprehensive program, set to launch in November 2024, represents an extension of Noble’s existing educational curriculum, offering a deep dive into the six soil health principles and their intricate relationship with ecosystem processes. Accessible entirely online and free of charge, the program empowers participants to learn at their own pace.
Producers of all sizes and locations will gain invaluable insights into optimizing land management for healthy soil, enhancing grazing animal performance, and fostering a more resilient and profitable operation. This educational journey equips them with the knowledge to implement sustainable practices that benefit both their land and their bottom line.
Noble Research Institute provides U.S. farmers and ranchers with a robust suite of research-backed educational programs spanning all aspects of farm and ranch management. Their curriculum empowers producers to restore their land, refine their grazing practices, boost profitability, and achieve long-term success in their operations.
“We are thrilled to partner with Certified Angus Beef, a company with a longstanding commitment to the beef industry and the establishment of uncompromising standards for taste,” said Steve Rhines, CEO and president of Noble Research Institute. “Producing the finest beef begins with the animal and its raising practices – an area where Noble’s expertise shines. Together, we have crafted a program that provides the tools to apply high standards to land stewardship, building stronger and more sustainable operations.”
The partnership between Noble and Certified Angus Beef underscores the shared dedication of both organizations to supporting producers in nurturing their land and grazing livestock responsibly. This commitment ensures optimal production, a healthier environment, and a brighter future for communities across the nation.
“Farmers and ranchers are inherently land stewards, with healthy forages being paramount for cattle production,” said Bruce Cobb, executive vice president of production at Certified Angus Beef. “Our team is eager to introduce this resource, developed by subject-matter experts, that will assist producers in enhancing soil health and profitability on their operations.”
