I brought the USDA farm programto thue SiouxTribe in South Dakota.
Many of the Tribal farmers and ranchers did not feel comfortable going into the USDA offices to sign up for the farm programs and to find out about any cost shared programs that were available for farming and ranching practices.
I assisted the Tribal people in Managing110,000 acres of poorly managed grasslands. Set up grazing plans for approximately 20,000 acres of grazing land. Set up cost sharing for livestock water developments, fencing for rotational grazing, hay planting to feed their animals. Managed 400 bison so the elderly would have some of their sacred food for their health. Culled the present bison herd of bison so it was aged the same as a wild bison herd.
