SUMMARY:RSA Annual Banquet 2023
DESCRIPTION:It's time to connect\, reminisce\, and celebrate the success of
  2022 while looking forward to a tremendous 2023 at the Ranchers Stewardsh
 ip Alliance Annual Banquet! Whether you've attended one of our events in-p
 erson or online\, put an RSA project into play\, or are just curious about
  our nonprofit\, all are welcome!\n\nThe night will include a no-host cock
 tail hour\, dinner\, and keynote speakers Glenn and Caryl Elzinga:\nGlenn 
 and Caryl started Alderspring Ranch near Salmon\, Idaho\, in 1992\, with t
 he purchase of 147 acres and 7 cows. They began direct marketing grass fed
  and finished beef in 1993 with 2 head. From these beginnings Alderspring 
 Ranch has grown to a 7-figure direct marketing enterprise and a 2500 acre 
 ranch with a 46\,000 acre wild rangeland permit. The entire operation is c
 ertified organic\, including the permit land.\n\nGlenn and Caryl run the r
 anch with their 7 daughters and a few exceptional employees. The ranch mar
 kets 100% of its production\, 300-400 head a year\, through an internet st
 orefront at Alderspring.com.\nAfter investing in a living soil over 15 yea
 rs\, the ranch is now profitable and expanding\, with another run-down 500
  acres of former potato farm added in 2022. The family hopes to regenerate
  that land utilizing cover crops and planned grazing into a profitable ent
 erprise as well.\nAfter working for several years on restoring fertility a
 nd biodiversity on the irrigated valley home ranch\, the Elzingas turned t
 o the native rangeland used for summer grazing. Seventy percent of the gre
 en forage their finish cattle consume is on these wild landscapes. By conn
 ecting technology with horsemanship and stockmanship\, the Elzingas are wo
 rking to reduce or eliminate conflicts on public rangelands between livest
 ock and predators while restoring native fish and wildlife habitats...and 
 gaining weight.\n\nWhile we won't sit you down and make you listen to too 
 many numbers\, the RSA Annual Banquet is also an opportunity for our staff
  to showcase what was accomplished in 2022. It was a heck of a year! And p
 lans are in play to build on that energy in 2023.\n\nYour RSVP is apprecia
 ted! Are you an RSA member? Then dinner is on us! CLICK HERE to become one
 . If that's the case\, we'd still appreciate your RSVP for planning purpos
 es. Choose the "Member" option and there will be no charge. If you are not

 rson or $45 per couple. Visit our online event page to save your seat!\nWe
 're excited to see you at 5 p.m. Friday\, January 20 at the Tin Cup in Mal
 ta\, MT.
