Cattleman’s Creed is developing a Colorado agricultural water conservation plan built around one principle: measure what works in the dirt. Our goal is healthier soil, smarter water use, stronger farms and ranches, and conservation that makes economic sense for the producer.

I’ve been around ranching and agriculture my entire life, and I’ll admit, I’ve been skeptical of many new products and ideas promising to change farming. But the deeper I’ve been digging into the science of soil, biochar, compost, water retention and fertilizer use, the more I believe some of these ideas deserve a serious look. I’m still skeptical. But now I’m curious. At Cattleman’s Creed, we want to find out what happens when old-fashioned agricultural experience meets mode

Cattleman’s Creed is exploring how biochar, compost and healthier soils could help farmers conserve water, reduce input costs and strengthen crop production. Working with farmers and industry partners in Colorado, Oklahoma and beyond, we plan to put the science to work on real farms, measure the results and discover what truly works. Protect the water. Improve the soil. Strengthen agriculture.
