A famous poet once quipped, "Nature is not a place to visit, it is home."  This quote is especially true for farmers and ranchers. Each and every day they rely on the land to support their lively hood and the natural environment for their lifestyle. More than 90% of American farms and ranches are family owned. So, the preservation of natural resources will also likely determine the success of a farm and ranch as it’s handed down to the generations to come. Caring for these resources is also like an unwritten agreement between neighbors, as the resources like water are shared. Ultimately, farmers, ranchers and land owners cannot afford to not take care of the land – it supplies their income, recreation and future dreams. Many farmers and ranchers pay extra attention to the long-term balance of natural resources related to their farmland, adjacent ranchland land and water. This is known as sustainability. The success of their farm and ranch operations depends on maintaining this balance of resources including water, nutrients and soil. With a wide range of expertise in farm, ranch, land and habitat management Mason Morse Ranch Company agents understand the importance of a sustainable balance between conservation of private lands to protect natural resources, wildlife and the long term profitability of agricultural farms and livestock ranches across the country.

For decades, farmers, ranchers, outdoor sporting enthusiasts, and conservationists have worked together sharing their expertise on land conservation and habitat management. Mason Morse Ranch Company agents have been among them along the way.  Recently the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service joined some of the largest wildlife, livestock, and natural resource advocacy organizations in the United States signing a historic “Memorandum of Understanding” between the groups. Leaders of Safari Club International, Ducks Unlimited, the Public Lands Council, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association came together to advance the conservation of our country’s natural resources while protecting vital wildlife habitat and biodiversity of private lands. Our agents know the territory.
