The State Land Board offers seminars at no cost to our lessees because we aim to provide ranchers -- and our lessees -- with more tools to become better stewards of trust land and to become more profitable through the use of adaptive grazing management practices and improved business practices. Stewardship matters to us because trust land needs to earn income not only for today's students, but also for future generations of students.
