SUMMARY:Soil & Grazing Masterclass Roadshow
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by WSE\, this two-day\, hands-on workshop is a demonstration-first crash course in soil health. You won’t just hear about it\, you’ll watch it happen. Led by renowned soil health educators Ray Archuleta and Alejandro Carrillo\, the school starts with a rainfall simulator and a slake test right out in the field\, so the soil “speaks” before anyone explains the theory behind it.\n \nOver two days\, you’ll get hands-on with:\n \n\nLive demonstrations — rainfall simulation\, slake tests\, infiltration checks\, and soil temperature comparisons across bare\, tilled\, covered\, and grassland soils\n\nNew soil testing tools — Haney\, PLFA\, and genetic soil tests\, and what each one can tell you about your ground\n\nGrazing and infrastructure planning — building a grazing plan that fits your livestock\, terrain\, and soil health goals\, plus sessions on animal genetics\, drought management\, and fencing/water infrastructure\n\nA real\, useable toolkit — worksheets and a 30/90/365-day action plan you leave with\, not just notes\n\n\nSpace is limited — this is the kind of two days where you leave with a plan for your own ground\, not just notes.

SUMMARY:Serenity in the Storm
DESCRIPTION:Montana Farmers Union invites you to experience Serenity in the Storm with acclaimed musician and speaker Jason DeShaw. \nMore than a concert\, this inspiring event combines live music\, personal storytelling\, and meaningful conversations that encourage hope\, resilience\, and connection in our rural communities. \nJason’s journey has taken him from high school gymnasiums to the lecture halls of Harvard\, using music and real-life experiences to reduce stigma surrounding mental health and encourage people to seek help when they need it. \nUniversity research has shown that DeShaw’s work has significantly reduced mental health stigma while increasing help-seeking behavior among Montana youth. \nThis free community event is designed for farmers\, ranchers\, rural families\, and anyone looking for an uplifting evening of encouragement and connection.

SUMMARY:Dinner in Doig Country Fundraiser at North Bridger Bison
DESCRIPTION:The Ivan Doig Center for the Study of the Lands and Peoples of the North American West is hosting their first annual Dinner in Doig Country. This Fundraiser Gala will be set at the scenic North Bridger Bison Ranch in Shields Valley\, MT\, less than fifty miles from the birthplace of Ivan Doig and will feature a silent auction\, live music\, and local fare.\n\nThe Doig Center\, named after the famed Montana author Ivan Doig\, is quickly becoming one of the most prominent hubs for place-based creative work illuminating the complexities of life in the American West—ranging from children’s books to art exhibitions to speaker series to cutting-edge scholarship. We host a podcast\, offer grants and fellowships to students and faculty\, invite prominent authors and storytellers\, and convene dialogue on pressing issues facing public life in the West. You can explore our programming and events here: https://www.montana.edu/doig/events.html.\n\nWe rely almost entirely on grants and private donations to do our work and are hoping to raise $50\,000 through this fundraising event. In light of the recent major federal funding cuts\, we are more reliant than ever on support from regional businesses\, individuals\, and organizations to sustain our ambitious agenda.\n\nTickets will be $150 per person and are available on our website.
