  • Hitchens Ranch Is One of the Oldest Continuously-Owned and Operated Family Ranches in Routt County
    A, C, D, & J. HITCHENS OVERLOOK RANCH U. S. Highway 40, Milner The Hitchens Ranch is one of the oldest continuously-owned and operated family ranches in Routt County. Through the Homestead Act, James Hitchens filed on 160 acres in 1886; later, his son Albert bought surrounding lands, and gradually the ranch grew to 1,980 acres. When James built his two-room log cabin along the stage route between Hayden and Steamboat Springs, he dug nearly three-mile-long trenches to irrigate fields and provide a pond in front of his house with which to water the stage horses that rested in the still-extant barn (see photo). At one time, the original log cabin homestead functioned as a post office. Eventually, James built additions and a second story on the house and sided the residence with clapboards. James later built a two- story home in Milner that provided the area with a larger post office, a pool hall, and a barber shop. Albert, the last of nine children, was born on the ranch in 1892, attended school two miles away, and ranched with his father. Later, he homesteaded adjacent to his parents’ home. Albert had a hernia rupture that prevented him from farming, so he worked at as a barber, assistant postmaster, and a cobbler, but since his first love was ranching, he traveled to Kansas City for a paraffin treatment that was apparently successful: He returned to the ranch, moved all of his homestead buildings onto his parents’ ranch in 1929, divided his two-room log house into a chicken coop and a bunkhouse, expanded the barn, and moved the Milner house by a wagon pulled by 28 horses onto the ranch, and lived on and ranched the property until he died at 93 years of age.

  • Persapectives in Grazing
    Note: Many of the ranchers in this publication refer to “intensive grazing management” when describing their operations. Th e “intensive” part of that refers to the level of management and not to the degree to which the pasture is grazed. Th e North Dakota Grazing Lands Coalition (NDGLC) would like to introduce to you these North Dakota producers whose operations are profi led in this booklet. Th ey are an example of the many innovative North Dakotans who are staying informed of and implementing “improved” grazing management practices. I hope that all of you, as I have, will benefi t from the sharing that these producers have openly and willingly provided for this booklet. Gene Goven Gene, Goven, Chairman, NDGLC P.S.

  • Basic Ranching Investment Costs a Farm Planning/Decision Tool for Louisiana Cow/Calf Producers
    Basic Ranching Investment Costs A Farm Planning/Decision Tool for Louisiana Cow/Calf Producers Thinking about starting a cattle ranch generally results in questions about the basic investment costs associated with cattle production. Investment costs vary widely by factors such as geographic location, size of desired operation and the point of time in the cattle cycle (for example, peak, trough, upturn or downturn). Table 1 provides a basic listing of items commonly associated with startup costs of a ranch. Some of the items listed in the bottom portion of the table are not practical for a small ranch, but are included for illustrative purposes. Table 1. Initial Investment Costs Associated with Purchase of One Cow Item Unit Quantity Price per Unit Total Cost Land Acres 2.00 $2,500.00 $5,000.00 Bred Cow Head 1.00 $2,200.00 $2,200.00 Bull Head 1.00 $4,000.00 $4,000.00 Five-Strand Perimeter Fencing Mile 0.32 $7,814.40 $2,500.61 Pasture Establishment Acres 2.00 $229.25 $458.50 Feed Bunk Each 1.00 $105.00 $105.00 Hay Rack Each 1.00 $125.00 $125.00 Squeeze Chute Each 1.00 $1,905.00 $1,905.00 Corral Each 1.00 $2,911.00 $2,911.00 Water Tank and Pump Each 1.00 $1,000.00 $1,000.00 1 Ton Truck Each 1.00 $35,000.00 $35,000.00 Stock Trailer Each 1.00 $7,300.00 $7,300.00 75 Horsepower Tractor Each 1.00 $43,400.00 $43,400.00 Hay Fork Each 1.00 $382.00 $382.00 Rotary Mower (13 Foot) Each 1.00 $12,600.00 $12,600.00 Barn Each 1.00 $10,200.00 $10,200.00 Total Initial Investment $129,087.11 The general rule of thumb in Louisiana is one cow bull can effectively service 25 to 35 cows, while you likely needs 2 acres of pasture.

  • Multifunctional Perennial Landscape: Small Farm Design in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed
    MULTIFUNCTIONAL PERENNIAL LANDSCAPE: SMALL FARM DESIGN IN THE UPPER SANGAMON RIVER WATERSHED BY PAUL LITTLETON THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Assistant Clinical Professor, Jessica Henson ABSTRACT The framework of this thesis parallels a much broader five-year research effort which began in the fall of 2014 through the University of Illinois Department of Crop Sciences titled “Multifunctional Perennial Cropping Systems (MPCS) for Introducing Local Food and Biomass Production for Small Farmers in the Upper Sangamon River Watershed (USRW)”. Spearheaded by Dr. Sarah Taylor Lovell, Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois, this long-term project pursues multiple objectives which seek to understand the complex social and ecological relationships of the watershed. Findings will be used to support educational landscape-based design research and to develop decision-support tools for land owners who want to integrate MPCS on marginal farmland. This thesis explores using MPCS in the projective design of marginal areas of an actual 171 acre ranch north of Mahomet, Illinois, that represents a prototypical small farm. Landscape features, primarily originating from permacultures applications, and local plant types are examined and categorized to help understand their role in an integrated agrosystem. The design goal is to develop a master plan that successfully joins functional attributes of human condition, wildlife habitat, erosion control, and crop production in a cohesive land use strategy. Layers of geographic information are analyzed to locate areas of flooding, poor soil types, and slopes hindering conventional crop production.

  • Impact of Industrial Farm Animal Production on Rural Communities
    Impact of Industrial Farm Animal Production on Rural Communities A Report of the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production Topic: Impact of Industrial Brother David Andrews, CSC, JD Farm Animal Production Timothy J. Kautza, MSE on Rural Communities b Contents Staff Summary ii Introduction viii The Livestock Industry Today 4 Marketing Livestock 6 Impact on Farms and Farmers 10 Impact on Workers 16 Impact on Quality of Life 20 Social Impact on Communities 24 Public Health Impact 28 Civic Participation 30 Summary 34 References 36 About PCIFAP 42 PCIFAP Staff Summary on the Impact of Industrial Farm Animal Production on Rural Communities ii The Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production was established by a grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The two-year charge to the Commission was to study the public health, environmental, animal welfare, and rural community problems created by concentrated animal feeding operations (cafos), and to recommend solutions. One aspect of industrial farming that is rarely considered by the general public is the effects on the rural communities in which the operations are located. In an era of ever-increasing control of local economies by dominant firms, however, the fate of rural communities in an age of industrial farming may give us insight beyond this specific situation. This technical report was commissioned to review the economic and social impact of industrial farm animal production (ifap) on rural communities across the nation. In the early 20th century, economist Frank Knight, father of the “Chicago School” of economics, proposed that the general welfare of society depends jointly on three policy goals: (1) economic efficiency, (2) maintaining economic freedom, and (3) maintaining an acceptable balance of economic power.

  • The Relationship Between the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE AMERICAS AND THE HORSE: DECONSTRUCTING A EUROCENTRIC MYTH By Yvette Running Horse Collin A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2017 © 2017 Yvette Running Horse Collin APPROVED: Raymond Barnhardt, Ph.D., Committee Chair Beth Ginondidoy Leonard, Ph.D., Committee Co-Chair Theresa Arevgaq John, Ph.D., Committee Member Marco A. Oviedo, Ph.D., Committee Member Michael Koskey, Ph.D., Department Chair Todd Sherman, M.F.A., Dean, College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School Abstract This research project seeks to deconstruct the history of the horse in the Americas and its relationship with the Indigenous Peoples of these same lands. Although Western academia admits that the horse originated in the Americas, it claims that the horse became extinct in these continents during the Last Glacial Maximum (between roughly 13,000 and 11,000 years ago). This version of “history” credits Spanish conquistadors and other early European explorers with reintroducing the horse to the Americas and to her Indigenous Peoples. However, many Native Nations state that “they always had the horse” and that they had well established horse cultures long before the arrival of the Spanish. To date, “history” has been written by Western academia to reflect a Eurocentric and colonial paradigm. The traditional knowledge (TK) of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, and any information that is contrary to the accepted Western academic view, has been generally disregarded, purposefully excluded, or reconfigured to fit the accepted academic paradigm.
