There’s a lot going on in the landscape if you know what you’re looking for!

👀Monday Observations👀

What could be going on here? This is in the Northwest Texas Panhandle and illustrates several things.

SOIL HEALTH. Soil surveys are amazing maps but they cannot capture what they call "inclusions." The mapped soil here is Viggo-Dallam fine sandy loam 3-8% slopes. The small inclusions as pictured above (there are larger areas of these inclusions throughout as well) are a loam, possibly Spurlock loam.

You do not need to know the soil names to understand what happens here. The loam/clay loam soils support blue grama (you do NEED to know or find out the plant names!). Blue grama is the lobster tail and the creme brulee on the plant buffet. Selected first by cattle. Every time. More often than even the tall grasses on the sandy sites.

These inclusions are the KEY grazing sites. (Not everywhere, but here!) The places to watch to determine when the cattle need to move along to another pasture and give those blue grama plants time to recover. These inclusions are scattered all over this 30,000 acre ranch. Thousands of them. Many suffer from WAY too much grazing pressure in the past and are slowly recovering. They were grazed so hard that the roots became diminished to the point where, in a drought year, especially a year like 2011, the plants die.

Side note: I have had ranchers tell me the '11 drought was so bad it killed their grass. No, sir, you abused the grass so long and so hard, it did not have the resilience to withstand the drought. That's on you buddy! Not the weather!

This blue grama pictured here is as healthy as they come. Long leaves. Healthy seedheads. Why the erosion?

The loamy fine sand simply blew away and the roots of the healthy blue grama held the loam soil in place. Further adding to the equation is the SW facing slope...prevailing winds are out of the SW and the near absence of grazing pressure due to remoteness and distance from water.

The scenario left us with this little island of lovely blue grana, just holding the world together.

Observing and understanding what is happening and WHY on your landscape will help to plan grazing strategies, infrastructure needs, etc. rather than spending money on "solutions." Throwing things at the wall to see what sticks is a big waste of time and money.

Principles B4 Practices. Understand your soil heath and grazing management before you select practices. Which all leads to profitability, stability for producers, families, rural communities.

It all starts with the soil. If grazing management was easy, we'd call it rocket science!

Our May Permian Basin Real Producers , Wayne Dunson of Dunson Real Estate, proves that sometimes the biggest leaps of faith lead to the greatest purpose 🔥

What started as a suggestion from his parents while earning his master’s degree turned into a career that would completely change the trajectory of his life. After working as a USDA rangeland management specialist, Wayne made the bold decision in 2007 to leave the security of a steady paycheck and step into real estate full-time… right before the housing market crashed. 💪

“The early years were hard,” Wayne admits. “But I had family support to get me through.”

From farm and ranch sales to residential, commercial, and development, Wayne has built a career rooted in service, leadership, and relationships. His background in land management gave him a unique perspective, helping clients see the potential in properties others might overlook.

But for Wayne, success has never been about production numbers.

“I sleep better taking care of people,” he says. “It’s the purpose behind it all.”

Through leadership roles across Odessa and Texas real estate, growing his business, and building a life centered around faith and family, Wayne continues to elevate the industry while staying grounded in what matters most.
