Hands-On Learning for the Next Generation

Looking for practical conversations about the future of agriculture, ranch labor, and the people who keep working lands working? The Ranch Workforce Project Podcast Series brings together ranch managers, educators, consultants, and agricultural leaders to tackle real-world workforce challenges facing the industry today.

Created through a collaboration between the Ranchers Stewardship Alliance and the Dan Scott Ranch Management Program, this limited series explored hiring, onboarding, mentorship, burnout, retention, internships, compensation, and building stronger pathways into agriculture.
