Listen Later

Weather. It’s a critical variable that impacts our Ranches.  But what if you could mitigate that risk with a process that would assist in management decisions?  EJ Raynor, research scientist with the USDA Ag Research in Colorado, and Retta Bruegger, with Colorado State Extension, are my guest as we discuss an 80-year project on weather cycles, how it correlates to production on ranches, and a decision tree tool that can be used to make management decisions.
