Environmentalists on the ranch
April 22, 2011
In honor of Earth Day, I’ll conserve words for all of you out there conserving the environment. I hope you enjoy one of my favorite video clips by API Creative Media. Celebrate this day by taking a quick ride through the beautiful Oregon ranching landscape with a true environmentalist, rancher Julie Laird.
Thank you to all our ranching readers for the part you play in keeping our industry going and our Earth clean!
