Description

Who We Are

American Farmland Trust (AFT) is the only national organization that takes a holistic approach to agriculture, focusing on the land, the agricultural practices used on that land, and the farmers and ranchers who steward it. Since 1980, AFT has supported the protection of millions of acres of farmland, advanced environmentally sound practices, and supported thousands of farm families.

This work is especially urgent in Texas, where farms and ranches face growing pressure from urban sprawl, population growth, climate change, water scarcity, and energy development. AFTs Farms Under Threat 2040 research identifies Texas as having the highest concentration of threatened agricultural land in the nation, with 2.2 million acres projected to be converted to real estate development by 2040. In the Texas Panhandle, where producers are already navigating drought, Ogallala Aquifer depletion, and changing market conditions, supporting improved soil health practices in grazing and cropping systems is needed to help keep working lands viable, productive, and in agriculture.

Position Summary

The Texas Agriculture Specialist will lead AFTs on-the-ground program development and relationship building in the Texas Panhandle, supporting farmers and ranchers as they adapt to changing environmental and economic conditions. Working in a region facing significant water scarcity, this position will help producers transition to practices that improve soil health, reduce reliance on irrigation, and strengthen long-term farm viability. The Specialist will serve as a trusted local presence, building relationships with producers, partners, and institutions to establish AFTs footprint and catalyze long-term program growth in the region.

This role will focus on increasing adoption of regenerative grazing and cropping systems through a variety of activities, such as peer-to-peer mentorship programs, technical assistance, and partnership development. The Specialist supports established mentor networks in the Resilient Grazing Network and the Texas Grazing Network statewide with particular emphasis on the Texas panhandle. They will also help to develop strategies for supporting farmers in adopting soil health practices within cropping systems.

Work with the Texas Director, Sr Manager, and partner organizations to explore strategies that support the advancement of soil health practices in cropping systems within the Texas Panhandle, such as peer-to-peer networks, technical assistance, and other outreach activities
Assist in the recruitment of land stewards to participate in mentorship opportunities, training, and peer-learning activities, with attention to producers interested in improving grazing practices, soil health, drought resilience, water-use efficiency, and whole-farm viability
Assist with soil sampling and related data collection activities to help land stewards establish baseline conditions, monitor changes over time, and understand how regenerative grazing and cropping practices affect soil health
Organize mentor training events in collaboration with AFT staff and external partners, including coordinating logistics, supporting facilitation, and working with partners to develop training materials that are practical, regionally relevant, and aligned with program goals
Support mentors in the provision of direct technical assistance and resource navigation to producers transitioning to regenerative practices, including the development of conservation plans for grazing management, regenerative cropping systems and other soil health approaches
