Noble Research Institute, a trusted resource for farmers and ranchers since 1945, and Certified Angus Beef, a brand known for its commitment to quality beef, have partnered to develop and deliver Land Stewardship, an educational course designed for livestock producers worldwide.

Land Stewardship, set to launch in November 2024, is an extension of Noble’s educational curriculum and offers an introduction to the six soil health principles and how they work with the ecosystem processes. Available fully online, and free, the program provides participants with accessibility and the ability to complete it at their own pace. Producers of all sizes and locations will gain insights into improving their land management for healthy soil, better grazing-animal performance, and a more resilient and profitable operation.

Noble provides U.S. farmers and ranchers with a research-backed suite of educational programming covering all aspects of farm and ranch management. The organization’s curriculum offers the tools needed to restore their land, improve their grazing, increase profits and gain long-term success for their operations.

“We are excited to partner with Certified Angus Beef, a company with a long history of commitment to the beef industry and the establishment of a set of uncompromising standards for taste,” said Steve Rhines, CEO and president of Noble Research Institute. “Producing the best beef starts with the animal and how it is raised, and that’s where Noble’s expertise comes in. Together, we have developed a program that supplies the tools to apply high standards to our land stewardship to build stronger and more sustainable operations.”

The partnership between Noble and CAB highlights the shared dedication of both organizations to support producers in caring for the land and grazing livestock in the best way possible to ensure better production, improve the environment and provide a better future for their communities around the country.

“Farmers and ranchers are land stewards first, with healthy forages a necessity for cattle production,” said Bruce Cobb, executive vice president of production at CAB. “Our team is excited to bring forward this resource, developed by subject-matter experts, that will help producers enhance soil health and profitability on their operations.”
