Oregon State University research on Shaniko Wool Carbon Initiative published

This year marks an important milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Serkan Ates and his team at Oregon State University: the publication of findings from the multi-year soil carbon research initiative at Shaniko Wool Company. The research has been an ongoing, six-year project spanning 10 ranches across 7 western U.S. states. The goal has been to generate practical, producer-informed data on soil carbon dynamics relevant to sustainable rangeland grazing. Early results show encouraging trends in soil carbon storage, reinforcing the long-term benefits of our producers' ranching practices.

We believe that science conducted on ranches is essential to advancing agricultural systems and supporting the producers who steward these landscapes.
