Ag and environmental focus planned for
10th Annual Southern Plains Conference
Preparations are underway for
the 10th Annual Southern Plains
Conference, to be held Saturday,
January 23, in Amarillo at the
Radisson Inn. The theme of the
conference is, “Agriculture 4 En-
vironmentalism-Do We Have
Common Values?” The gathering
is presented by The Promised
Land Network (PLN), an ecu-
menical organization dedicated to
sustaining agriculture and rural
communities in the Southern
Great Plains through sound land
stewardship and Judeo-Christian
ethical principles.
Two keynote speakers will as-
sist participants in identifying im-
portant areas of connection be-
tween agriculture and environ-
mentalism. Dr. John Carroll from
the Department of Environ-
mental Conservation, University
of New Hampshire, will give an
opening presentation entitled,
“One Hundred Years of U.S. En-
vironmentalism: A Historical
Overview." At the close of the con-
ference, Mark Schultz from the
Campaign for Family Farms and
the Environment, will speak on
the topic, “Finding Common
Ground: Rebuilding Agriculture’s
Partnership with Environmental-
ism.”
Between the opening and clos-
ing presentations, a facilitated dis-
cussion will take place in break-
out groups that will represent
eight distinct voices of environ-
mentalism: wise use, wilderness,
regenerative agriculture, grass-
roots or direct action, urban or
workplace, mainstream organiza-
tional, deep ecology and Hispanic
farmworkers. Participants will be
directed to identify values, moti-
vations and images that undergird
their particular approaches to en-
vironmentalism, and to reflect
how these aims shape a certain
type of agriculture. After lunch,
reports from each “voice” will be
given to the full assembly, which
will illuminate important differ-
ences, but will also demonstrate
areas for “common ground” be-
tween agriculture and environ-
mentalism.
Participants will represent a
variety of experiential back-
grounds: ag commodity producers
and groups, citizen’s action
groups, educators, faith-based ru-
ral advocacy organizations and
concerned area residents from
across the Southern Plains.
Among the diverse groups repre-
sented at the conference will be:
Texas Cattle Feeders Association,
Nature Conservancy, the Hu-
mane Society, National Catholic
Rural Life Conference, Texas &
Southwestern Cattle Raisers As-
sociation, Audubon Society, Holis-
tic Resource Management of
Texas, Sierra Club, and Oklahoma
Family Farm Alliance.
Activities begin Friday eve-
ning, January 22, with a reception
and concert from 7:00-9:00 p.m.
The concert will feature Ms. Ten-
nessee Tuckness and Mike Fuller,
both from Amarillo. Admission for
the concert is $10 per person, and
tickets can be purchased at the
door or in advance for $8 per per-
son. Registration opens Saturday,
January 23, at 8:00 a.m., with the
conference scheduled from 9:00
a.m.-4:00 p.m. Registration for the
event is $20 per person ($15 for
