George Owens manages around 500 acres of combined pasture and pine trees in Chipley, Florida, and was recently featured in Legacy Magazine, a publication of Noble Research Institute, seen below.

He practices silvopasture, a sustainable approach that integrates livestock grazing with timber production. His family has stewarded this land since the late 1800s, when his great-great-grandfather homesteaded it.

By the time Owens inherited the farm in 1971, traditional farming methods were no longer economically viable. The expenses associated with row-crop farming — peanuts, cotton, corn and soybeans — such as equipment maintenance and labor costs, were rising faster than revenue. He realized a change was necessary.

“I decided I’d have to do something with the land to give it revenue annually as well as revenue long-term,” Owens says.

His wife, Pat, an accountant, highlighted the urgency of finding a financially sustainable solution to avoid losing parts of their family’s land.
