My guest today is Kelsey Ducheneaux, a fourth generation tribal rancher and the Cheyenne river Sioux nation. Kelsey's passion is working directly with land managers and producers and promoting regenerative agricultural practices. She is the owner of DX Beef, a sustainable cattle company and her family farm DX Ranch also houses project help a nonprofit that supports youth by enhancing life skills through thoughtful horsemanship practices. Kelsey received her bachelor's of science degree in range land management from South Dakota state university, then her master's of agriculture degree and integrated resource management from Colorado state university. Kelsey is also the natural resources director at the intertribal agriculture council, an organization that conducts a wide range of programs designed to further the goal of improving Indian agriculture. The IAC promotes the Indian use of Indian resources and contracts with federal agencies to maximize resources for tribal members. One of my dear friends and former employees, Courtney now works at the intertribal agricultural council as well, and put me in touch with Kelsey for this episode on conserving and developing indigenous agriculture resources.
