Episode 5.10: The Future of California’s Working Lands - Conservation, 30x30, and What Comes Next
California’s working rangelands are more than open space. They provide vital wildlife habitat, store carbon, protect watersheds, build wildfire resilience, and sustain the ranching families and rural communities that depend on them. As development pressures grow and the state works toward its goal of conserving 30% of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030, recognizing the conservation value of private working lands is more important than ever. In this episode, Rangeland Trust CEO Mich...

Episode 5.9: A Ranch Lost, A Life’s Work Found
For many ranching families, the land is more than a place to work—it’s part of their identity, history, and family story. When that relationship with the land changes, the impact can last for generations. In this episode, host and CEO of the Rangeland Trust Michael Delbar sits down with Nita Vail, a fourth-generation rancher who grew up on Santa Rosa Island, where her family ranched for nearly a century. Her journey from island ranching to state government, environmental policy, and helping l...

Episode 5.8: Passing the Ranch On
Succession is one of the greatest challenges facing the ranching industry today. With an estimated 70% of U.S. farms and ranches expected to change hands over the next 20 years, thoughtful planning will be essential to ensuring these operations survive and remain productive for generations to come. Successful succession involves far more than transferring land from one generation to the next. It requires early planning and honest conversations about family roles, business structure, finances,...

Epi sode 5.7: A Rancher's Voice in a Digital World
Agriculture has never been more visible. As social media gives consumers unprecedented access to life on the farm and ranch, producers have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to share their stories with authenticity and transparency. In this episode, we sit down with Tucker Brown, a rancher from Throckmorton, Texas, who has built a following of more than 211,000 people on Instagram by documenting the day-to-day realities of his family's multi-generational ranch. His passion for educating con...

Episode 5.6: Inside Ranch America
In this episode, host and CEO Michael Delbar sits down with River Klass, first-generation rancher, restaurateur, and host of the Outdoor Channel’s Ranch America. Together, they explore the realities of ranch life and the critical role ranchers play in producing food, stewarding natural resources, and preserving the open spaces that define much of the American landscape. With nearly 90% of U.S. beef producers operating as small, family-run businesses, ranching remains deeply rooted in local co...

Episode 5.5: Reconnecting California to its Roots
California has a long and deeply rooted agricultural history, yet today the state is often defined by technology, urban growth, and innovation hubs like Silicon Valley. As communities become increasingly urbanized, the connection between people and the land that feeds them continues to fade—even as conversations around sustainability, food systems, and local economies grow more important than ever. In this episode, host and CEO of the Rangeland Trust, Michael Delbar, sits down with Julie Morr...

Episode 5.4: Van Vleck Ranch - Balancing Tradition and Innovation
Last week, we celebrated Earth Day—but for ranchers, that responsibility doesn’t only come once a year. Stewardship is part of the job, every day. Caring for working lands means tending soil, water, and wildlife habitat while sustaining the agricultural legacy that keeps California’s landscapes thriving. In this episode, host and CEO of the Rangeland Trust, Michael Delbar, sits down with Stan Van Vleck of Van Vleck Ranch, a multi-generational family operation with more than 170 years of agric...

Episode 5.3: Women on the Range - Karen Sweet’s Story
March is always a meaningful time. It is a chance to celebrate International Women’s Day and National Ag Day, all while recognizing the people who shape our agricultural landscapes. This year carries even greater significance as it also marks the International Year of the Woman Farmer and the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists. It’s a moment to reflect on the contributions, leadership, and resilience of those working the land, and to highlight the stories that often go untold. ...
