This spring, I will be restoring some damaged ponds on my ranch. Over time, ponds can lose health due to erosion, pollution, or neglect, but with care, they can recover. I’m working to bring back clean water, native plants, and a habitat for fish, frogs, birds, and insects. A healthy pond supports the farm and its ecosystem. Healthy ponds play a role in watershed management. They filter runoff, prevent flooding, recharge groundwater, and provide water for livestock and crops. Restoring this pond helps the land, builds resilience against droughts, improves soil health, and creates a space for wildlife. It is a step toward a sustainable future for the farm and the environment. #sustainableagriculture #cleanwater #soilhealth

Kansas was made for wide-open grasslands, not forests. 🌾 But now, invasive red cedar trees are taking over. These trees hurt the land by stealing water, killing native grasses, and making wildfires worse. 🔥 They’re also ruining grazing land for cattle and wildlife. 🐄🦌 Today, I’m fighting back. With my chainsaw, I’m cutting down these invaders to save my land. 💪 It’s hard work, but it’s worth it. I want to bring back the beautiful, healthy prairie that belongs here. 🌱 This land is special, and I won’t let it disappear. ❤️ #landmanagement #kansasfarm #tallgrassprairie #invasivespecies

Eli enjoys the cold as much as I do ❄️

New life on the ranch is always a wonderful thing—there are still many babies to come! ❤️ #farmlife #farmbabies #farmanimals

The main reason I hit the gym is to make my daily work a lot easier. 💪🤠 #ranchlife #farmwork
