The Goals for Our Research is to:

• Determine the trends in livestock condition and rangeland health
• Determine woody plant encroachment trends via remote sensing
• Quantify and evaluate the effects of best management practices on hydrological properties and soil carbon under different scenarios of annual precipitation
• Identify factors influencing private landowners’ adoption of best management practices
• Determine (a) producer-level costs and benefits of using goats in mixed-species grazing systems and (b) the economic potential and limitations of the goat market in the Great Plains

Project Findings
