Family Land Stewardship
Fifth-Generation Family Farming and Ranching
TeXas Soil Sisters
Crystal and Johanna Nuding are 5th generation family members of a working Texas cattle ranch founded in 1887.
And if a Texas Heritage Ranch family's best option for helping the next generation is selling the land section by section to hunting enthusiasts and weekend cowboys, then Texas farming and ranching has a problem.
TX Soil Sisters is currently building relationships on the federal, state, and county levels and has outlined the challenges we've witnessed and available paths to a course correction beneficial for our planet, the State of Texas, our farming/ranching communities, and the families like ours looking for profitable solutions to sustain our heritage and way of life.
