Rehabilitating farm & ranch Land
The Soil Sisters podcast documents the journey of rehabilitating Texas farm and ranch land using regenerative practices - from land stewardship and intentional farm and ranch planning to growing industrial hemp, ancient grains, and nutrient-dense food for our communities. If you're a newbie to regenerative agriculture or simply curious to grow healthy food for your family, we invite you to dig in with the Soil Sisters.
Family Farming and Ranching in Texas: NRCS, Regenerative Agriculture and Conservation with Kristy Oates
What does the NRCS actually do for Texas producers—and how can you access free technical assistance, real conservation funding, and support for your land? In this episode, Kristy Oates, Texas State Conservationist with USDA NRCS, joins Soil Sisters to explain how NRCS works alongside producers—not as a regulator, but as a partner. From its Dust Bowl roots to today's regenerative agriculture efforts, NRCS offers practical, on-the-ground support across Texas. We dig into EQIP and CSP funding, application timelines, and how payments actually work. Kristy also explains conservation easements, the new Regenerative Pilot Program, and how NRCS is working to simplify systems for producers. If you've ever wondered how to get started with NRCS—or if it's worth your time—this episode gives you the clarity you need.
