Noble Research Institute Expands Regenerative Ranching Courses to New States in 2025
McKenzie, North Dakota — The Noble Research Institute, a leading nonprofit in the field of farm and ranch management, has announced the expansion of its regenerative ranching and land management programs to three additional states in 2025. New course locations will be established in McKenzie, North Dakota, and Pendleton, Oregon, both starting in July, as well as Winter Garden, Florida, beginning in November.
This expansion follows the organization’s successful introduction of similar programs in California and Georgia earlier this year, reflecting the growing demand for regenerative agricultural practices across the United States. The new offerings are part of Noble’s commitment to transforming American grazing lands through educational initiatives and hands-on implementation.
Noble Research Institute has been dedicated to providing practical farming solutions since its founding in 1945. The organization aims to build a nationwide community of agricultural producers who adopt regenerative principles tailored to the diverse landscapes and ecosystems in their regions.
Course Offerings and Objectives
Registration is now open for a variety of courses designed to equip farmers and ranchers with essential skills for sustainable land management. Key courses include:
- Noble Grazing Essentials: A 3-day course focused on enhancing grazing management for long-term profitability.
- Noble Land Essentials: A 2-day course centered on restoring soil health through the application of six soil health principles.
- Noble Profitability Essentials: A 2-day course exploring strategies to maximize operational profitability.
- Business of Grazing: A 3-day course that aligns effective grazing strategies with business objectives.
Additionally, the Noble Research Institute offers a free online course, Land Stewardship, and a self-guided version of the Noble Land Essentials course for those who prefer remote learning options. These educational resources are designed to address the needs of ranchers and land managers in various operational contexts.
Noble’s Mission and Support
The primary goal of the Noble Research Institute is to deliver research-based education on the benefits and practices of regenerative agriculture, helping producers optimize their operations while promoting sustainability. Sky Toney, a regenerative ranching advisor at Noble, has highlighted the significance of offering adaptive solutions tailored to the varying ecosystems and operational dynamics across different regions.
As the largest nonprofit dedicated to farm and ranch management in the United States, Noble manages 13,500 acres of working ranchlands, providing real-world insights and practical applications to its courses. This hands-on approach allows participants to learn through direct experiences and observations.
Looking Ahead
The expansion of courses to North Dakota, Oregon, and Florida represents a strategic move by the Noble Research Institute to broaden its reach and support the agricultural community more effectively. The new program locations are expected to foster greater participation in regenerative ranching practices and promote sustainable land management practices nationally.
