Program Committee Chair Cody introduced today's program Bryan Nicholas with the Nobel Foundation in Ardmore.  Bryan reported that he grew up in rural Oklahoma.  Mr. Lloyd Noble, the foundation is named after, was born in 1896 in Ardmore.  His family was in the hardware business.  Because of that they accumulated some land as people would use their land as collateral and would default on debt.  They then got into the oil business.  His business because very successful.  He was a a huge philanthropists and helped out many others to their success.
The foundation helps farmers and ranchers with information and support.  The foundation will come into your land and assess your situation and come up with recommendation.  They have many areas they can help from life stock, crops, to horticultural.  They also do consulting so if a person has a question they can just contact the foundation and they will put you in touch with a local person that can help you out.  They also do applied research.  Looking at supplements to see who transitions to wheat pasture.  
He then opened up to questions.  
Thank you Cody for a great program.
