Please feel free to contact us at any time. We offer owners the freedom to step away from the day-to-day operations while resting assured that their ranch is managed exceptionally well. Managing biological capital for these owners is our primary service. We are seeking ranchland to lease from forward-thinking landowners who want to preserve their agricultural heritage and ensure excellent stewardship of their land. Soil and plants are the foundation of this business, and we conduct our business in a way that benefits the people, land, livestock and wildlife. We work hard to ensure that future generations may reap the benefit of our efforts. In our opinion, stewardship of resources is critical, and the improvement of everything we manage is a worthwhile pursuit. Our enterprises consist of low-input cow-calf production, bred heifers and custom grazing. We are located in the Texas Panhandle and have ranching roots in the area spanning over 125 years. They can't just carry on doing exactly what they're doing right now because of this encroaching aridity.Welcome! 100th Meridian Ranching focuses on excellent stewardship while charting a path through which modern ranches can operate efficiently, profitably and sustainably into the future.
The song was also featured in the Due South episode 'Heaven and Earth' in 1995. It was released in April 1993 as the fourth single from the bands 1992 album, Fully Completely.
"There has to be some kind of adjustment. ' At the Hundredth Meridian ' is a song by Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. "A farmer who was considering passing on her or his farm to their children over the next decade or two should be considering these kind of climate or environment changes," Seager told KUER. Specifically, the researchers suggest that as aridity increases thanks to rising evapotranspiration – where heat extracts moisture from the soil and removes it to the atmosphere – farms may need to consolidate and become larger to survive, or change their crops in response to reduced water resources. "The places over the western parts of the high plains will become more arid." "There will need to be a farm economy adjustment to this because of the environmental changes," Seager told Quartz. So far, this shift hasn't significantly affected farming and land use as the dryer conditions move across the US.īut the team's modelling suggests altered precipitation and rising temperatures as the century progresses will see the "effective 100th meridian" continue its shift eastward for decades to come, as arid conditions slowly colonise the east. While the meridian itself – which continues beyond US borders, northwards into Canada, and southwards into Mexico – is in the same place as always, the climate barrier that used to sit on top of it has moved approximately 225 kilometres (140 miles) to the east, Seager says, placing it closer to the 98th meridian west. General CommentYep, the meridian of 100 degrees west runs pretty much smack through the middle (north-south) iof the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas, nips off the corner of Oklahoma then runs on down through Texas just west of San Antonio and is quite literally 'where the Great Plains begin'. The 100th meridian, shifting from its former position (unbroken line) to the new (dotted) line (Seager et al./Earth Interactions) The 100th meridian west – the invisible line of longitude that roughly bisects the continental US in half – was historically seen as a boundary separating the humid eastern states from their arid western counterparts.īut thanks to climate change, the world is not what it once was, and neither is this intangible barrier.Īccording to a new analysis of rainfall and temperature data by climate scientist Richard Seager from Columbia University, the climate boundary that once traced the 100th meridian has effectively been shifting eastwards ever since the 1980s, with the arid conditions of the western plains slowly expanding into the midwest.
