MARKET REPORT
FIND OUT WHAT YOUR LAND IS REALLY WORTH
State-Certified, Accredited Rural
Appraisers Specialize in Ag Property
hances are you have visited your family doctor about
some vague health issues, only to be referred to a specialist
when the GP realized you needed expertise in a
particular area of medicine.
A similar situation can occur when you need a rural real estate
appraisal, but start with someone whose expertise in land
valuation ends at the city limits.
According to Bill Beam of Western Appraisal LLC in Abilene,
when dealing with rural real estate, it pays to work from the
outset with an appraiser who is familiar with your geographic
area and specializes in appraising your type of property.
“We are seeing more and more special-use clients, who have
unusual and complicated situations,” says Beam, who is past
president of the Texas chapter of the American Society of Farm
Managers and Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA). He reports also
that it’s not unusual “to do follow-up” for clients who did not
start with a rural appraisal specialist.
ASFMRA members focus on rural property and the agricultural
industry. Their work generally involves real estate sales and
purchases, estate planning, division of property in inheritance
situations and income tax cases.
“Lenders use appraisals to decide how much to lend on real
estate, but appraisals serve many other purposes, as well,” says
Jimmy Chambers, chief executive officer of Central Texas Farm
Credit, headquartered in Coleman.
“For example, real estate buyers will often get an independent
appraiser to help them determine how much to offer for a
property or to determine how much of the value of a property
they can use for depreciation,” Chambers explains. “It is important
for appraisers to be familiar with the type of property
10
S u m m e r 2 0 1 4

they are appraising and to
understand the local market.
With agribusinesses, it takes
a very high level of expertise.”
Beam notes that ASFMRA
members have appraisal
expertise in rural ranchland,
farmland, feedyards, dairies,
vineyards, gins and other
types of agribusiness operations.
“We hold seminars that
help us keep up to date on
changes in these areas,”
he explains.
Some of these seminars are
in addition to the 28 hours
of continuing education that
Texas appraisers are required
to take every two years to
maintain their state
certification.
Another benefit that
ASFMRA members offer
their clients is access to other
rural valuation experts, according
to Robby Vann, vice
president of collateral risk
management at the Farm
Credit Bank of Texas. “We
share knowledge and expertise.
There’s a lot of networking
within the organization.
We can generally find someone
who has expertise in
any particular area that a
customer needs,” says Vann,
who is 2014 vice president of the Texas chapter of the ASFMRA.
Recently, for instance, Beam worked with clients from the Midwest
who were buying farmland in the Texas Panhandle, which was much
different than the land they already owned. He also consulted with
fellow rural appraisers when working on a complicated estate settlement
that involved a large dairy herd, farm buildings and land, with
the owners residing in another state.
That’s not all. Beam reports that state-certified, accredited rural
appraisers are often involved in legal cases, such as right-of-way
projects. “If the appraiser has a designation, such as the ARA
(Accredited Rural Appraiser), it can provide credibility when the
case goes to litigation,” he says.
“We have a very high standard of ethics, and we have a lot of
integrity,” he says.
And, as Chambers notes, “There’s no emotion involved when
you hire a state-certified, accredited rural appraiser.”
Texas Chapter of ASFMRA
A Reliable Source for Rural Land Value Trends
If you spend much time at the feed store or the coffee shop,
you’re bound to hear chatter about local land values. But whether
that discussion is fact or simply speculation, there is a more
reliable source for those who follow the rural real estate market
— “Texas Rural Land Value Trends,” an annual publication of the
Texas chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and
Rural Appraisers (ASFMRA).
Produced every April, the report is prepared by appraisermembers
of the ASFMRA throughout Texas who provide data
to develop the annual market study. It publishes the estimated
ranges of value for particular land categories and qualities by
geographic region. It also estimates ranges of land rents for
the various land types.
While the Texas chapter of the ASFMRA is the recognized
source for current Texas land value estimates and projected
future trends, the report’s credibility comes from the ASFMRA
members themselves: Primarily state-certified, accredited
appraisers, many of them handle rural real estate appraisals
exclusively.
As the umbrella for Texas and other state chapters, the American
Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers provides a
variety of services, including:
• Education for pre-licensing and certified general education,
continuing education and advanced designation education
for rural property professionals
• Networking opportunities and legislative representation
for its members
• An accreditation program for farm managers, appraisers
and consultants. This gives members a strong competitive
advantage in terms of knowledge, networking and recognition
as ethical qualified professionals.
The ASFMRA offers four classifications of accreditation —
Accredited Farm Manager (AFM); the Accredited Rural
Appraiser (ARA); the Real Property Review Appraiser (RPRA);
and the Accredited Agricultural Consultant (AAC). Accredited
members are highly educated, thoroughly seasoned and experienced
farming and rural valuation experts who have taken years
of training to earn a designation.
“Texas Rural Land Value Trends” is distributed free of charge.

Kings of the Mountain
It’s Our Nature
Interview by Courtney Donnell
What do you do when your life
derives from a legend? You
listen to that legacy. Add in
your own flavor. Stand at the
top of your own mountain.
And, share it with the world.
James King, great, great, great
grandson of the legendary
Captain Richard King, founder
of the King Ranch, is doing
just that. Together with his
wife, Tammy, they have taken
a life-long love of the land, an
inherent dedication to Texas
and a genuine appreciation for
people and created something
extraordinary. King Land &
Water, in Ft. Davis, Texas,
at the base of the Davis
Mountains, is a Conservation
Real Estate Firm, dedicated to
pairing exceptional properties
with exceptional people.

James, you come
from a long line of
land merchants and
ranchers, yet you started
your career off in land
preservation and nature
conservancy. Now, you
run a Conservation Real
Estate Firm. What exactly
is a “Conservation Real
Estate Firm?
THE QUOTABLE ANSWER
JAMES: “It’s a focus and career that has grown out of a realization that
land, people, and our natural world are inextricably linked. Stewardship
and conservation of our lands and waters are critical for people, their
lively hood, and the great place we call Texas. We used to use the
phrase “Working Landscapes” in my Conservation Career which
recognizes people are part of the environment.”
THE “OVER-COFFEE” ANSWER
JAMES: It is just kind of a combination of, you know, heritage, family and
a love of Texas. We are descendants of the Richard King family, not my
cousins the Kleberg family that own the King Ranch. You see Captain
King had a son, Richard King, that’s where I came from. We have
always been associated with land, natural resources, and people here
in Texas. Our family has been here a long time and we are networked
into the older families, the original families of Texas. All of that, combined
with the fact I worked with The Nature Conservancy and ran all their land
acquisitions for twenty years, an education in rangeland ecology and
just a real love of natural resources and the science of land. It all just
kind of came together and made sense. We found a real unique niche.
We find ourselves working on unique properties, 17,000 acres on the
Gulf Coast, to a mountain top here in west Texas, to the Devil’s River
in Val Verde County, with unique people who love the land and want to
make sure it is taken care of. It is kind of like we are expanding on what
I did at The Nature Conservancy, but doing it within the private sector.
TAMMY: When we decided to do this, it was the absolute worst time
in our economy. But, James still had this vision that we could cater to
that niche of people who cared about the environment, and at the same
time, were large land owners. He literally quit his job in September of
2008, right in the middle of the crash. And, I was scared to just narrow
it down to that one niche, this conservation
niche, but he had a vision. He held to it, and
it worked.
So, is that all that you do at King Land and
Water?
JAMES: I mean we’ve brokered a couple
of hotels over in Alpine, and we will do a
house or two, but typically we stay within the
conservation model. But, I want people to
understand, there isn’t a strict list of criteria
to adhere to. We don’t only work with lands
that have conservation easements, and we
don’t only sell to Texas Parks and Wildlife or
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department. We just do what most people
would consider a traditional brokerage. But, we find ourselves working
with people that have a strong “Land Ethic,” people who want to own
it and want to own it with the idea of enhancing it, preserving it, good
land management, not sub-dividing, not development. For example,
the Rockpile Ranch. We just closed the Rockpile Ranch. It is 54,000
acres, an iconic Texas ranch. We were able to find a very stable family
who wanted to buy it and keep it together as a ranch. They have the
resources, the desire and the commitment to maintain it. They were the
perfect buyer for that property.
Your tagline, “Protecting Clients, Conserving the Land,” explain
that to me?
JAMES: Yes, we do all of this conservation work, but at the same time,
we are definitely helping people achieve financial success. Out here,
in our region, over the last 20 years, what we originally sold for $120 an
acre then, we are now selling for $800 an acre. There is tremendous
appreciation. So, the whole conservation ideal, it isn’t just from the
heart, it is from the wallet too. You can absolutely achieve financial
success while maintaining conservation success.
What does Conservation Real Estate mean for a community?
JAMES: Community Based Conservation requires an understanding
of the needs, personality and desires of a local community. If you
design your efforts within the context of that community, you are more
likely to achieve lasting success. For example, using private tools, like
conservation easements, works well in rural communities that don’t want
to see more government ownership of land such as Refuges, Parks,
etc. There are other communities who thrive
next to public conservation lands and embrace
parks and refuges as part of their economic
success.
What are the key factors to examine when
considering conservation real estate?
JAMES: All lands have some conservation
attributes; it’s a matter of degree. Some stand
out as more ecologically unique and important,
due to the habitat and natural resources
associated with them. In most circumstances,
it is a landscape or watershed that is important.
One of the main tools used in Texas, is the

Conservation Easement, which restricts certain fragmentation activities
like subdivision and development, but will allow compatible uses like
ranching, hunting, and recreation. When selling a ranch subject to
conservation easements, it is very important to fully understand the
positive attributes associated with the easement and have the ability to
effectively communicate them to potential buyers.
started.
acres in Texas.
TAMMY: James was
working for The Nature
Conservancy, and we
started looking forward
to the future. Living on
a non-profit salary, we
saw an opportunity to
turn it into a for-profit
business. So, I got my
real estate license, and
started a real estate
company, called Texas
Mountain Realty, which I
later sold. The plan was
to get my broker’s license
and James would come
join the business. But, I
needed a little experience
first and that is how I
When and how did you get started selling ranches?
JAMES: After A & M, I worked for Kerr and McGee, managing their
ranches in the eastern part of Oklahoma, near Gore. I was living in a
trailer, at a place called Rabbit Hill, putting tires on the roof to protect me
from tornados. I worked there for two years, and I really appreciated
the experience, but could not wait to get back to my roots, family and
friends in Texas. I moved to Austin in 1983 and got my Texas Real
Estate Salesman license. Me, and fellow Aggie, John Schneider, started
Schneider King Co. with offices in Austin, Alpine, Menard, Marble Falls
and San Antonio, with a focus of brokering ranches statewide. During
the late 1980s, we rode the market up, and we rode the market down. I
got an opportunity to go work for The Nature Conservancy in 1989 and
continued to work with them until 2008, as director of their real estate
program. So, I was buying and selling unique lands across the entire
state. Places like Dolan Falls Preserve, Davis Mountains Preserve,
Caddo Lake WMA, James River Bat Cave, Barton Creek Preserve,
Hoskins Mound, South Padre Island, Independence Creek, Balcones
Canyons NWR, and Shamrock Island, to name just a few. I never sat
down to count, but to date, I suspect it’s over 1.5 Million conservation
What is the strangest experience you have had showing a ranch?
JAMES: It was here, in the Davis Mountains. I met a buyer to show him
a ranch. The owner, my client, insisted on coming on the tour, so we
met him at 10 a.m. at his ranch house. We were in the buyer’s Jeep and
the owner, of the ranch (again, my client), showed up stinking drunk with
an ice chest of more beer. So I moved to the back seat of the jeep, with
the buyer’s dog, and we drove all over the ranch, listening to the seller’s
stories as he downed cans of beer. I was totally embarrassed, but the
buyer was cool and he wanted the ranch. Turns out the buyer owned
six beer distributorships in Texas. The dog, his name was Regalo, got
real friendly with me in the back of that Jeep. Every once in a while,
we still get a Christmas card from that buyer saying, “Regalo sends his
love.”
What have you learned is the most important aspect of selling
ranches?
JAMES: Tammy and I are both, “People, People.” This whole thing
is about relationships and solving problems and being an asset to the
transaction. We nurture these deals all the way to closing, and then

after closing. We continue these
relationships. We hook people
up, tell them where to go buy a
tractor, help them find a foreman,
sometimes, we even get their mail.
TAMMY: And, that is a two way
street. Yesterday, one of our clients
came into town from Houston, went
out to his ranch, baked a Pot Pie
and brought it into our office. Our
clients don’t just stay clients, they
become our friends.
How has the industry changed
over the years?
JAMES: It’s all about technology,
excellent photography, digital maps
and social networking. You should
see the difference between the marketing packages we did in the 80s
and the ones we do today. Buyers are smart, and you have to sell
smart, at the same time you still have to be able to drink coffee with
folks and listen. In our age of information and digital content, you have
to be able to develop marketing information that can be emailed and
reviewed quickly.
In general, how do you feel about the industry today?
JAMES: I am so optimistic about the ranch market in Texas today, and
in the long run. We may have a few blips along the way, but we are
going to double the population in Texas from 26 million to over 50 million
in 40 years. We have one of the strongest economies in the world.
That’s a huge increase in buyers with the same amount of land and
lots of money. From a conservation perspective, however, the growing
threat of fragmentation and its impacts will be a challenge to wildlife and
people. Water is the defining issue in Texas and it’s also one of the most
attractive attributes for ranches and recreation properties.
What is your favorite type of deal?
JAMES: We thrive on complexity. It is almost like we are junkies for
stress and just really, really complicated transactions. We find ourselves
selling some of these heritage ranches that have never been on the
market since 1880. There is
hair all over them. The survey’s
not right. The title’s not right. The
cousin doesn’t want to do it.
The brother doesn’t want to do it.
There are boundary issues. The
patents from Texas are missing.
So, we find ourselves rushing to
solve problems. And, we love it.
If you had to pick another
career….any career…What
would you do?
JAMES: I joke with my family
that I want to be a shrimper in
Port Aransas, but not really. I
would probably be a guide, like
a hunting and fishing guide,
wilderness guide. Truthfully, it is really hard to imagine doing anything
other than what I do. I still get really, really excited when I am on a new
property. I am where I need to be.
TAMMY: When I was younger, even before I married James, I always
wanted to own a summer camp of some sort. Now that I am older, I
realize, that is just the epitome of being a grandma. So, for my next
career, I am going with summer camp owner, grandma, or just fishing
in Port A.
What is your favorite thing about Texas?
JAMES: The best thing about Texas is the diversity, in both the land
and the people. You can go to East Texas. You can go to the coast.
You can go to the Hill Country. You can go to Dallas. You can go to the
Valley. They all identify themselves as Texans. And, then I love all of
the natural diversity. Texas is just really unique when you think about all
the natural elements that are here. Beach, Mountains, Forest, Rivers,
Brushland, Marshes.
TAMMY: When I was in college, my mom lived in Germany for a few
years. When I would visit, they would always ask me, “Why do you want
to go back to Texas?” My answer was simple. “Living in central Texas,
I can go three hours in almost any direction and do everything I want
to do. Skiing, fishing, hunting, hiking, river rafting, everything is there.”

Your job is to sell properties.
Our job is to give you
world-class media to do so.

MARKET REPORT
PROPOSITION 6 / SWIFT FUND
It’s no secret. Texas is running out of water.
In response, the 83rd Texas Legislature moved to encourage the
development of new water supplies throughout the state by funding the
State Water Plan. To do this, the Legislature, during the regular 2013
session, passed two bills and a Senate Joint Resolution establishing a
funding framework and the opportunity to bring the issue to the voters.
Last November, in the midst of one of Texas’ longest running
droughts, voters approved Proposition 6. With 73 percent of the vote,
citizens gave the Legislature permission to transfer $2 billion from the
State’s Rainy Day Fund to the State Water Implementation Fund for Texas
(SWIFT), which had been created through the passage of HB 4. SWIFT,
a low-interest loan program, can be used to finance rural water projects,
projects related to conservation and reuse, and projects in communities
and cities of all sizes.
“SWIFT is designed to provide an additional funding source for water
projects that have been identified as important at the local level. Nothing
more and nothing less,” said Con Mims, executive director of the Nueces
River Authority, chairman of the Region L Water Planning Group and a
member of the TWA Water Advisory Committee. “SWIFT is not, in my
opinion, a threat to private property rights.”
With that said, though, the projects under consideration can -- and
eventually will -- have implications for private landowners across the
state. As regional water planning groups begin prioritizing water projects
as part of the SWIFT process, some see it as reminder of the need for
landowners to be aware of and engaged in water planning.
development, while others may not. That’s why it is so important for
people to get engaged at the regional level, so they will know what is
going on in their own backyards.”
As an extreme example, Letz said there is likely to be a vast difference
in opinion between a landowner whose land is submerged to create a
reservoir and one who ends up owning valuable shoreline property after
the creation of the same reservoir.
STATE WATER PLAN AND REGIONAL WATER
PLANNING GROUPS
In response to the 1950s Drought of Record, the Texas Legislature
created the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to develop water
supplies and prepare plans to meet the state’s future water needs. The
TWDB published State Water Plans sporadically until 1997, when the
passage of SB 1 established a new water planning process based on a
“bottom up,” consensus-driven approach.
The responsibility of coordinating the water planning process rests
with 16 Regional Water Planning Groups (RWPG) representing 16 water
planning areas, covering the state.
“The RWPGs are the logical and easiest places for landowners to
get plugged into the water planning process,” said Mims. Landowners
interested in finding their RWPG can go to the Texas Water Development
Board website (www.twdb.texas.gov), click on “Surface Water” and then
“Regional Water Planning.” On the Regional Water Planning page, there
is a link to an information sheet, “Regional Water Planning in Texas” that
provides a map of all the RWPGS and their boundaries.
Water projects, whether they involve building reservoirs and
desalinization plants, or developing well fields with pipelines, have
the potential to impact private property through the need for acquiring
easements or land. When a project is undertaken for the “public good,” the
use of eminent domain is always a possibility.
Region J Water Planning Group Chairman Jonathan Letz, who is also
a Kerr County Commissioner and a member of the TWA Water Advisory
Committee, said, “When it comes to property rights, no single project
will make everyone happy. Some property owners may benefit from the
The RWPGs, each have about 20 members, speaking for a variety
of interests, including: agriculture, industry, environmental, public,
municipalities, groundwater districts, river authorities, water utilities,
counties and power generators.
Letz said, “RWPG meetings are public meetings, but very few
members of the general public attend. Those who are in the room have their
voices heard and, as a result, have a very big impact on the proceedings.”
In a proactive move, the Texas Wildlife Association is working to enlist
its members to monitor the proceedings of their local RWPGs and report
back to the association, keeping the leadership abreast of developments of
interest or concern across the state, Letz said.
With the passage of SB 1, the Texas Water Development Board was
charged with preparing a State Water Plan every five years. The Plan, which
is a dynamic document that anticipates the changing water conditions and
needs in Texas 50 years into the future, incorporates information provided
by the RWPGs. Currently, RWPGs have finalized the 2011 Regional Water
Plans, which have been incorporated into the 2012 State Water Plan, and
are drafting the 2016 regional plans, which are due to the TWDB by May
1, 2015.

Mims said, “In order to be eligible for any of the water loan programs

operated by the TWDB or to qualify for a surface water permit, water development
projects must be designated as ‘recommended’ in the regional water plan. This
means that most of the major projects under consideration in any given area are
part of this plan.”
Notable exceptions are private water marketing proposals where the corporate
officers believe it’s beneficial to “fly under the radar” until the project has gained
momentum, he said. “Even then, the entities agreeing to purchase the water,
generally want the project to be placed in a regional water plan at some point if
state funding or surface water permits are needed,” he said.
SWIFT PROCESS
The 2012 State Water Plan contains approximately 3,000 recommended
water development projects with a total estimated price tag of $53 billion. The
SWIFT Fund contains $2 billion, with 10 percent dedicated to rural (including
agricultural) water projects and 20 percent for water conservation or reuse.
Obviously, priorities will have to be set.
HB 4, the legislation that enabled the SWIFT Fund’s creation, also outlined the
three-step prioritization process that is underway now. First, the HB4 Stakeholder
Committee, made up of the 16 RWPG chairmen, undertook the statutory charge
of creating uniform standards for prioritizing water development projects at the
regional level.
“We knew from the legislation that any standards that we came up with had to
LAKE MARVIN NICHOLS: WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
Author’s Note: Water planning in Texas can be complicated, detail-oriented and sometimes tedious, but never unimportant. The issues surrounding the
proposed construction of Marvin Nichols Reservoir in northeast Texas demonstrate why landowners and citizens cannot afford to ignore the process. It is a
scenario that is likely to be repeated across the state as our population continues to increase along with demand for water, causing urban and rural Texas to
clash. It raises a lot of questions, including: How do we balance the growing demand for water with a growing demand for food, shelter and energy? In our
quest for more water, how do we conserve the ecosystems that are integral to the water cycle? They all depend on the same open space, productive land – land
that Texas is losing faster than any other state in the nation.
Northeast Texas is home to cattle ranches, poultry farms, hardwood forests and a surplus of water. Its rural character and natural resource based economy are not attracting
people into Region D, the 19 counties within this Regional Water Planning Group, nearly as fast as they are into nearby urban areas.
Dallas-Fort Worth is home to a lot of thirsty people. In fact, it is estimated that the 16 counties within Region C, the Regional Water Planning Group covering the Metroplex, will
need an additional 1.7 million acre-feet of water per year over the next 50 years to meet the growing demand.
To meet its growing thirst, Region C (Metroplex), home to several of the fastest growing counties in the state, looked to northeast Texas for answers, proposing to develop projects
in Region D (Northeast Texas) that would meet 28 percent of the Metroplex’s water needs. The majority of this new water would come from the proposed Marvin Nichols Reservoir,
which is sited for the Sulphur River Basin, downstream of Chapman Lake and Lake Ralph Hall. The plan calls for flooding about 72,000 acres of land, mostly private property, and
home to the aforementioned agriculture and timber industries as well as oil and gas development. A pipeline will carry the water from its origins approximately 170 miles to its users.
Its price tag is approximately $3.4 billion.
The plan’s opponents predict a 10 percent – 20 percent loss of jobs, which will hit the timber industry particularly hard. They also decry the loss of bottomland hardwood forests,
an increasingly rare habitat in Texas. Hardwood bottomlands are wooded wetlands, an ecologically diverse ecosystem that has been reduced by 75 percent over the past 200 years.
The proposed reservoir will submerge almost 30,000 acres of hardwood bottomlands, which could prompt the federal government to require the acquisition or take of up to 750,000
additional acres to mitigate the original habitat loss. Opponents characterize the plan as a “land grab, where East Texans lose control of 900 square miles, an area roughly the size
of Dallas County.”
Opponents maintain that the reservoir is larger than necessary and Metroplex users should try harder to conserve water, making the most of what they have. The fact that in a
list of state’s 40 largest cities, four of the state’s five highest per capita water users are in the Metroplex is often mentioned.
Proponents of the plan counter that their citizens are decreasing water use by 10 percent to 15 percent a year, but that conservation alone is not enough to provide the water
necessary to fuel one of the state’s – and the nation’s – most important economic engines.
In 2006, Region D (Northeast Texas) opposed the inclusion of Marvin Nichols in the State Water Plan because it was needed by Region D and created an interregional conflict.
In 2011, Region C (Metroplex) again included it as a “recommended” water strategy. Recently, a both a District Court and the 11th Court of Appeals, confirmed that an interregional
conflict existed and remanded the case to the Texas Water Development Board for resolution.
In early April, the TWDB Board Executive Administrator issued a preliminary recommendation that, if adopted by the full board, would allow Region C (Metroplex) to include the
Marvin Nichols Reservoir in their regional plan and proceed with feasibility studies and would require Region D (Northeast Texas) to withdraw its formal opposition and consider the
conflict resolved. The Board scheduled two public hearings for April and accepted public comment until May 2. A final decision is expected soon, but was not available at press time,
so the impact remains to be seen.

e uniform and replicable by other people,” Letz said. “To achieve that we could
not let subjectivity enter in.”
As a result, while the regional chairs agreed that water projects can affect
private property rights, the environment and the economy, the committee did not
include them as scoring criteria because of the subjectivity of the issues, Mims
said. Instead, in his opinion, these will be dealt with as part of the permitting
process that projects will have to undergo before their completion. Letz anticipates
private property rights, the environment and the economy will added in a later
iteration of the regional prioritization criteria once planners determine the best
way to incorporate additional information that is important in the final decision.
Instead, the chairs focused their attention on five minimum statutory
requirements provided by HB 4:
management strategies for their 2011 Regional Water Plans to the TWDB by
September 1 and then turn their attention to prioritizing the projects in their
2016 plans. As examples, Region J, which represents six counties in the Edwards
Plateau, has approximately 20 projects in its 2011 plan and expects that number
to more than double in its 2016 plan, as general projects are made more specific
to meet criteria. Region L, which represents 21 counties in South Central Texas,
is considering 329 projects in its 2011 plan and expects that number to remain
constant for 2016.
Letz said, “While it is tempting to dismiss the prioritization process as a
bureaucratic exercise, the implications of these rankings may be far-reaching.
The SWIFT Fund is just one source of money for water projects, designed to
leverage money from other sources. It is very possible that a project’s SWIFT
ranking could influence its eligibility for other funding.”
1) the decade in which the project will be needed;
2) the project’s feasibility, including the availability of water rights for
project purposes and the project’s hydrological and scientific practicability;
3) the project’s viability, including whether the project is a comprehensive
solution with a measurable outcome;
4) the project’s sustainability, taking into consideration the life of the project;
5) the project’s cost-effectiveness, taking into consideration the expected unit
cost of the water to be supplied.
The HB 4 Stakeholder Group then prioritized the criteria, giving additional
weight to those items that they felt were very important in ranking projects. For
instance, the decade of need, which is an indication of when an area might be out
of water, was weighted highest.
While the current system is a good start, Stakeholder Committee members
anticipate that it will be refined over time as flaws are revealed through use.
“We were required to take cost-effectiveness into consideration,” Letz said.
“As a result, projects with a lower cost receive a higher ranking than those
with a big price tag. This makes sense, but it also creates a potential problem.
Conservation projects are less expensive than projects that require new science
such as desalinization, so conservation projects rank higher overall. Conservation
is very important, but we also need to try experimental technologies as well
because they may hold the very solution we need in the future.”
In addition, HB 4 provided the Stakeholder Group a very short timeline to
complete the regional prioritization criteria. The group began meeting in early
September 2013 pushing to meet the statutory deadline of December 1, 2013.
“We chose not to have public participation at our meetings, because we
didn’t feel we had time for it,” Mims said. Instead, the committee members
sought comment from their respective planning group members and technical
consultants, making it important that interested landowners get involved in the
two remaining steps of the SWIFT Fund prioritization process.
The RWPGs must provide a final prioritization of their recommended water
22
S u m m e r 2 0 1 4
While the RWPGs are busy prioritizing their projects, the TWDB, working
in Austin, will be shaping how the SWIFT funds will be allocated. By March 1,
2015, the TWDB will adopt rules for establishing a point system for its use in
prioritizing water projects and allocating the SWIFT funds. They expect to be
completed ahead of schedule.
As the rules are developed, the TWDB will offer ample opportunity for
public input. Organizations such as the Texas Wildlife Association will be
monitoring the rulemaking process closely. During this process, important
terms such as “rural,” “agriculture,” and “conservation” will be defined.
“It’s been said that in life ‘the devil is in the details,’” Letz said. “In the
public policy arena, it could be said that ‘the devil is in the definitions.’” Also,
the rulemaking process should consider private property rights, particularly as
they relate to eminent domain and just compensation, he said.
“I feel it’s very important that private property rights be considered during
the rulemaking process,” Letz said. “If any projects require acquisition of
property, the property owners should be justly compensated.”
The TDWB, with the input of the SWIFT Advisory Committee that includes
six legislators and the State Comptroller, will also have to tackle the big elephant
in the room: competing regional needs. (TWA’s Vice President Emeritus David
K. Langford, a long-time participant in local, regional and state water planning,
noted that the SWIFT Advisory Committee could also play a pivotal role in
prioritization process, depending on how its members interpret their charge.
“In my opinion, landowners and organizations would be wise to include the
Advisory Committee members in their communication and outreach efforts,”
he said.)
Mims said, “I assume that dealing with competing needs will be a
fundamental consideration in TWDB’s rulemaking for SWIFT funding. It is
the elephant in the room. Texas is a big state. Each region’s challenges are
different. Reconciling them is going to be a challenge in and of itself.
He continued, “With that said, though, remember the SWIFT Fund is just
an additional source of money. If a project has high local support, it will get
built with or without SWIFT funding. Major cities with strong bond ratings may
undertake projects on their own. Landowners, wherever they are, just need to be
aware of what is going on around them.”

MARKET REPORT
by Ruben Cantu and Greg Simons
Just as there are creatures great and small, there are habitats great and small. Landowners,
regardless of the size of their holdings, can make a difference for wildlife by improving the habitat.
Habitat, as everybody learns in elementary school life science, is a place that is natural for
the life and growth of an organism. As part of that same lesson, we learn that good habitat
includes food, water and shelter, which in wildlife management is called cover. There is fourth
component that, unfortunately, often gets overlooked. It is space.
Every animal species has a space requirement, known as range. The term range, when used
in biological sciences can get confusing, because range not only refers to the historic habitat
where an entire species can be found, but to the amount of space that individual animals within
the species will travel on a daily basis to meet their needs for food, water and cover. It differs
from species to species. For instance, depending on location, a white-tailed deer may range over
800 acres, while a bobwhite quail can thrive in 320 acres or more, and a migratory butterfly
can benefit from a one acre-plot along its flyway dedicated to its habitat. Generally, the larger
the animal is, the larger the range it will require. (Migratory birds and butterflies are notable
exceptions.) As a result, size can matter when it comes to wildlife management.
Although it is possible to improve wildlife habitat on small acreages, it is important for land
managers to understand two truths to keep their expectations realistic and help them recognize
the fruits of their labor. First, wildlife species, such as white-tailed deer, dove, quail and turkey, are
mobile. Providing high-quality food, water and cover doesn’t mean that these species will move
in and set up permanent residence. It is likely that managers will be providing a high-quality way
station as part of the animal’s natural range and they may become frequent visitors. Build it, and
if the animals are around, they will come, but they may not stay. Remember, though, just because
the animals don’t live there all of the time, doesn’t make the habitat components less valuable
to them.
(While we’re on the subject of animals on the move, none move farther than migratory
species. Small acreages located along the flyways can make vital, life-saving rest and refueling stops
for neotropical migratory birds if the habitat is enhanced to meet their needs. These birds that
include songbirds, shorebirds, raptors and waterfowl make annual treks from their summer
breeding and nesting ground, which can be as far north as Canada to wintering grounds which
can be as far south as South America. The same holds true for monarch butterflies, whose
numbers are declining sharply. Scientists theorize that one cause for plummeting population
numbers is a decrease in stands of milkweed that are crucial food sources for the butterflies
as well as Texas’ ongoing drought that has wreaked havoc on native wildflowers, goldenrod, and
various species of sunflower that they depend on during migration.)
Second, if land managers choose to manage their habitat to benefit a specific species such
as white-tailed deer, their management efforts will have a cascade effect, meaning that a wide
variety of other species will benefit from increased plant diversity, improved water availability and
well-managed cover. To maximize the benefits, especially on small acreage, it is a good idea to
enlist the active support of neighbors, so habitat is collectively improved across a bigger
area. This is the idea behind wildlife management associations and wildlife cooperatives,
a tool that has been proven effective in East and Central Texas where land holdings
tend to be smaller than in other parts of the state. (For more information on wildlife
cooperatives, please see: http://www.tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/land/associations/)
When it comes to improving wildlife habitat, the process is the same
regardless of the size of the property. It begins with landowners asking
themselves: “What do I want this property to look like in the short- and
the long-term?” The answer to this question will provide the guiding vision.
As a point of information, good wildlife habitat rarely looks like a park.
The best habitat is a diverse mixture of grass, forbs and brush, creating a
mosaic of different textures, heights, densities and even life cycles. Diverse
plant life creates a year-round buffet for wildlife. Park-like rangelands
generally are built on a foundation of introduced grasses and brush removal,
creating a relative monoculture. Cattle can thrive in this environment, but it is less than ideal for
wildlife.
Next, landowners need to set a goal or a series of goals, by answering the question: “What
do I want to achieve on my property?” The answer will depend on the landowner and the
property, but the answer tends to be much more specific than the vision. This is also when
landowners determine what species they will focus their efforts on.
Common goals include: re-establishing diverse native plants, enhancing riparian areas or
creating additional water sources and managing brush species. Successful land managers often
refine their goals, by quantifying them and making them measurable. For example, a landowner
interested in restoring native plants may state his goal as re-establishing a native plant cover
containing 10 wildlife-friendly species on one-third of the property by 2017. This level of
specificity creates a habitat management road map. With that said, the goals must be revisited and
the landowner must be flexible because wildlife and habitat management are directly influence of
Mother Nature, who offers no guarantees.
One of the benefits of working on small acreages is that landowners’ efforts are more
concentrated, meaning that the results of their habitat management may become obvious more
quickly. Their efforts are not diluted by scale. In addition, because the scale is limited, the cost for
habitat improvement is often lower.
While a 1-d-1 wildlife valuation is not necessary to perform habitat work on small
acreages, it may provide tax benefits as well as additional management flexibility. The area where
the flexibility is most obvious and arguably most important is livestock grazing. (There is no
minimum size for improving habitat, but some counties tax appraisal districts do have minimum
sizes for qualifying for 1-d-1 valuations.)
Depending on the rules of the local tax appraisal district, landowners of small acreages
may have to graze a specified number of cattle, sheep or goats year-round to maintain an ag
valuation, regardless of the size of the property. In this situation, oftentimes land is overgrazed
because the county’s minimum stocking rates exceed the land’s carrying capacity, especially in
times of drought.
Under a 1-d-1 wildlife valuation, grazing is allowed, but not required. This means that
landowners can use grazing if and when it helps them achieve their overall land management
goals. It is a fine distinction, but one that can be very important when shaping the landscape to
support wildlife.
The bottom line is this: Habitat is important to all types of wildlife. Landowners who have
small acreages can make a big impact.

MARKET REPORT
WATER CONSERVATION OCCURS IN TEXAS
by Robert & Janelle Fears
You don’t have to sit in a Texas coffee shop very long until the conservation turns
to oil or water. Oil is discussed because we suddenly have a lot of it and as a result,
the state is booming. Water becomes a topic due to its shortage, perpetuated by the
continuing drought.
WATER NEEDS
Needs of all water use categories are forecast by the Texas Water Development Board
in a state water plan at the end of each five-year regional planning cycle. The last
water plan was completed and published in 2012. In this plan, it is predicted that
Texas population will increase 82 percent between 2010 and 2060, growing from 25.4
million to 46.3 million people. Even with the population increase, water demand in
Texas is projected to increase by only 22 percent. Water usage will increase from about
18 million acre-feet per year in 2010 to approximately 22 million acre-feet per year in
2060. The small increase is primarily due to declining demand for irrigation water and
increased emphasis on urban and rural conservation.
Areas where conservation can make the biggest impact are indicated by the water
demand projections in the 2012 State Water Plan:
It can easily be seen by the above numbers that municipalities and agricultural
irrigation are the largest water users. Fortunately, conservation practices are being
employed in both of these categories and will be discussed in future articles.
Water demands from mining involve exploration, development, and extraction
processes of oil, gas, coal, aggregates, and other materials. On a state-wide average,
this category is the smallest water use and the consumption is expected to decline
one percent between 2010 and 2060. Mining demands increased in a number of
counties due to estimates of increased water useage for hydraulic fracturing in the
Barnett Shale. Use of water for hydraulic fracturing operations is expected to increase
significantly through 2020. This demand is partially alleviated by some oil companies
using brackish water for hydraulic fracturing instead of fresh water.
Contrary to propaganda distributed by animal rights groups, water for livestock will
be the second smallest user category in 2060, not the largest. It is also significant
that grazinglands offer the greatest opportunity to conserve water and progressive
livestock managers already utilize conservation practices that help replenish surface
and underground water supplies.
WATER MANAGEMENT ON GRAZINGLANDS
Landowners, who understand water conservation say, “I want rain falling on my
land to stay on my land.” What they mean is that their land is managed for increased
water percolation into the soil and for reduced runoff by maintaining a continuous
vegetative cover. Runoff water is unavailable to plants and it degrades surface water
through silting.
“Vegetation is needed on the soil 24 hours a day, seven days a week to build organic
matter, hold water and stop erosion,” says Ray Archuleta, United States Department
of Agriculture–Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS). “Continuous
live or dead cover helps maintain soil health and protects it from heat and raindrop
impact. Soil needs armor.”
“Soil scientists report that for every one percent of organic matter content, the soil
can hold 16,500 gallons of plant-available water per acre of soil down to one foot

deep,” says Charles Gould, Michigan State University Extension. “That is roughly 1.5
quarts of water per cubic foot of soil for each percent of organic matter.”
Soil water, not utilized by plants, continues to percolate through soil until it reaches
an underground reservoir or aquifer where it is stored. Some of the water from most
aquifers eventually seeps into surface water bodies such as ponds, lakes and rivers.
Dixon Water Foundation demonstrates proper rainfall management on their four
ranches, that collectively total over 15,000 acres. Two of the ranches are located near
Gainesville, one is south of Dallas, and the fourth is near Marfa. The foundation was
founded in 1994 by the late Roger Dixon. Primary purpose of the foundation is to
promote healthy watersheds through sustainable land management. In addition to
demonstrating sustainable land management practices, the Dixon Water Foundation
funds an annual grant program that promotes its mission throughout key Texas
ecosystems, provides landowner education and fosters public awareness about healthy
living through healthy watersheds.
“Each ranch is expected to sustain itself financially with livestock sales and hunting
leases,” explains Robert Potts, President and CEO of the Dixon Water Foundation.
“We practice holistic management on all four ranches. We divided our pastures into 85
different paddocks collectively on the two Gainesville ranches, using both permanent
and temporary electric fencing. Cattle and sheep are grazed together at heavy stock
density and are moved into fresh paddocks daily.”
“In Holistic Management, livestock density is managed to match available forage, in
order to maximize animal impact,” states Peggy Sechrist with Holistic Management
Institute (HMI). “Hooves of animals pastured at a high-stock density pulverize soil,
allowing more water penetration and nutrient cycling. Plants are grazed more evenly,
and there is better distribution of forage utilization, urine and manure. High-stocking
density also causes a more even distribution of litter as a soil cover. The layer of litter
cools the soil, aids in water absorption and degrades into organic matter.”
“The continuous vegetative cover, resulting from holistic grazing management,
builds organic matter, holds water and prevents erosion,” says Clinton Josey, Chairman
of Dixon Water Foundation Board of Directors. “Rainwater soaks into our soils and
does not run off the property. We want to keep all the water that falls on our properties,
and we don’t want the neighbors’ rainwater. The reason is that runoff causes erosion,
and we don’t want to lose our soil. We also don’t want our neighbors losing theirs.”
“We don’t see an immediate change in the water levels of our ponds after a heavy
rain, due to soil absorption,” Josey continues. “A few days following a rain, the ponds
will begin recharging from the aquifer.”
WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT
Trinity Waters promotes enhancement of land, water and life in the largest watershed
within the state, through grants and educational programs. The organization works
through a broad-based coalition of local communities and municipalities, nongovernment
organizations (NGOs), stewards of public lands, private land owners,
and local wildlife management cooperatives/associations. Trinity Waters is partially
funded by corporate donations, currently led by MillerCoors.
“The Trinity River flows from its headwaters north of the Dallas-Fort Worth
Metroplex DFW) to its outlet into the Galveston Bay Complex,” explains Ken
Klaveness, Executive Director of Trinity Waters. “This major Texas river is 512
miles long and has 1,983 miles of major tributaries that drain an area of over 18,000
square miles. With nearly eight million residents, the Trinity River Basin is the most
populated river basin in Texas. The river furnishes primary water needs for over 40
percent of the state’s population.”
“About 75 percent of the Trinity River Basin remains in farms and ranches, which
provide an important watershed service capability,” continues Klaveness. “This
service has been reduced, however, by land fragmentation and changes in land use.
For example, over 300,000 acres of native rangeland habitats were converted to nonnative
grasses over the ten-year period prior to 2003. During this same period, the
average rural ownership size decreased by 27 percent as over 9,600 farms and ranches
were created through large property subdivision. These land use conversions and
fragmentation are placing important upland and flood plain habitats at risk.”

TWA MEMBER PROFILE
TERRY ANDERSON
b y LORIE WOODWARD CANTU
As a child growing up in Kountze, near the Big Thicket, Terry Anderson fell in
love with the outdoors.
“I fell so deeply in love that I never played team sports because they might
have interfered with hunting or fishing,” Anderson said. At the time, trespassing
wasn’t a major concern of landowners in the area, so his outdoor adventures
were limited only by how far he was willing to walk or ride his bicycle.
“I definitely had a rural upbringing,” Anderson said. He and his wife, Kelly, are
continuing that tradition with their children, Katelyn and Wyatt, by making their
home in Chireno near Nacogdoches.
In 1985, as graduation from Kountze High School approached, Anderson
sensed that he wanted a career in the natural resources, so he picked up
a catalog from Stephen F. Austin University and was excited to find classes
in wildlife and forestry management. His excitement was short-lived. When
he shared his plans with well-intentioned adults, he was told that majoring in
32
S u m m e r 2 0 1 4
natural resource management was a “terrible idea because you’ll probably
only find work as a logger or a park ranger -- and you’ll never make any
money.”
Shaken and deterred, Anderson turned to Plan B, enrolling in Lamar University
in Beaumont and majoring in biology with the goal of becoming a high school
science teacher. The curriculum was pure biology, not applied. Anderson
was miserable. Two semesters before earning his degree, Anderson had an
epiphany while he was stuck in traffic.
“I remember thinking, ‘In two semesters, I’m about to get a degree that
doesn’t interest me -- and, hell, I still won’t make any money,’” he said. With
that realization, he dug out the Stephen F. Austin catalog, told his parents that
he was moving to Nacogdoches to study forestry and wildlife management,
refurbished a worn-out mobile home to provide cheap housing, and started
over academically. Only 40 hours of core curriculum from Lamar could be
applied to the forestry and wildlife management degree at Stephen F. Austin.

“I didn’t really know what I was going to do with that degree, I just knew that
I was going to do it – whatever it took,” Anderson, who is a member of the
Texas Wildlife Association’s Executive and Water Advisory committees, said.
In 1989, in the first of a series of “unexpected circumstances and unlikely
nuances,” Anderson interned for Mike and Donna Bird, at Bird Forestry, a
well-respected forestry resources management company, in Center, Texas.
The Birds would later become his business partners and mentors, but that
summer they put him to work in a job where he spent most of his time
winching forestry tractors out of the mud.
“It was a great summer, but it made me appreciate the value of an education,”
Anderson said. He went back to Stephen F. Austin, graduating in 1991.
Anderson returned to work for Bird Forestry as a natural resource consultant.
He and Bird began working to bring private wildlife management to East Texas.
Breaking new ground in the 90s, they quickly learned two things: companies
were reluctant to hire a forestry firm to manage wildlife, and the environmental
services sector, which was being driven by regulatory requirements of the
Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, offered more economic
opportunities than traditional wildlife management.
In response, they established Advanced Ecology, which took forestry out of
the company’s name and opened possibilities in clients’ minds, and began
providing environmental services to corporate, industrial and government
clients.
MITIGATION BANKING IS: “THE RESTORATION, CREATION,
ENHANCEMENT, OR PRESERVATION OF A WETLAND,
STREAM OR OTHER HABITAT AREA UNDERTAKEN
EXPRESSLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF COMPENSATING
FOR UNAVOIDABLE RESOURCE LOSSES IN ADVANCE OF
DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS, WHEN SUCH COMPENSATION
CANNOT BE ACHIEVED AT THE DEVELOPMENT SITE OR
WOULD NOT BE AS ENVIRONMENTALLY BENEFICIAL.”
“We discovered that oil companies and engineering firms were spending a lot
of time and energy trying to get permits and authorization to work in wetlands
or endangered species habitat,” Anderson, who serves as President
of Advanced Ecology, said. “We also figured out that there weren’t many
professionals in that field with a background like ours. And, as time passed,
we found that our unique approach to problem solving effectively navigated
the regulatory maze, which helped us build a successful client base.”
And it worked. Initially, among many other things, Advanced Ecology focused
on ecological surveys, working with companies to identify areas in their
construction path that might be highly sensitive because of the presence of
wetlands or endangered species habitat.
“In the beginning, we primarily were identifying potential impacts,” Anderson
said. “When you’re walking a proposed pipeline route, you get to see a lot of
interesting country, but only for a minute. You see the problem, but you don’t
get to fix it.”
Over time, Advanced Ecology team members determined they wanted
to fix the problems. This realization prompted them to enter the emerging
field of mitigation banking. At the time, most firms that were engaged in this
new enterprise were engineering companies, construction companies or
commercial development firms. Their personnel had environmental science,
engineering, financial or legal backgrounds with experience in permitting and
regulations, not natural resource management.
“Even today, a majority of people who are in the mitigation business tend
to be environmental attorneys, commercial developers or investment
bankers, not dirt foresters or dirt biologists,” Anderson said. “As field foresters
and biologists, we start with the land. The way we attack the problem is
fundamentally different.”
He continued, “Make no mistake, this is a very capitalistic endeavor, but
where other people see mitigation as a financial enterprise with an ecological
component, we see it as an ecological enterprise with a financial component.”
L a n d s o f T e x a s M a g a z i n e . c o m
33

This distinction may seem small, but it is huge in the marketplace. Having
backgrounds in hands-on natural resource management sets the Advanced
Ecology team apart in the field, in the board room, and in regulatory hearings.
They have credibility on both sides.
“I speak East Texas logger, Houston oilman, and Wall Street investor,”
Anderson said. “We pride ourselves on bridging the gap between people on
the ground and people in the skyscrapers.”
Anderson, who self-deprecatingly characterizes himself as an “East Texas
redneck traditionalist,” uses his fish-out-of-water persona to his advantage.
“When I walk into a corporate setting, many people don’t quite know what to
make of me,” Anderson said. “They’re like deer examining a new feeder. At
first they stand off and look, but then their curiosity gets the best of them and
they have to check it out.”
He continued, “When people hear we’re in the mitigation business they often
assume we’re pea-green bunny huggers, but clearly we’re not. Advanced
Ecology is a service vendor whose product allows other companies to
complete their projects, be it pipelines, transmission lines, roads or a
development. Our deliverable is a practical, ecological solution to a problem.”
While each mitigation or conservation bank is unique, Advanced Ecology’s
projects follow the same general framework, Anderson said. First, Advanced
Ecology identifies potential markets where landscapes are likely to be
impacted and ecological solutions are likely to be needed. Second, the team
identifies properties within the area, but not in the project’s path, that can be
restored or conserved to create the mitigation bank. The team also pinpoints
specific companies who are likely to need to credits.
“Mitigation banking is not a ‘quick flip,’” Anderson said. “Generally, it takes
three to five years to restore a property to a level where ecological credits
can be sold. It can also take that long to develop the regulatory and business
relationships necessary for the sales.”
Once an appropriate mitigation site has been found, Advanced Ecology either
makes a fee simple purchase or enters into a joint venture, generally with the
existing landowner. “We are always looking for like-minded landowners with
good projects to team up with. Some of our best projects have been joint
ventures.” Whenever possible, Advanced Ecology continues the productive
use of the land such as ranching, farming or commercial hunting, while it

CHALLENGES FACING LAND STEWARDS IN TEXAS ARE

ASSOCIATION. HE SERVES AS BOTH A MEMBER OF THE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND THE WATER COMMITTEE.
undertakes it restoration work, he said.
“There are a lot of great organizations dedicated to preserving beautiful,
pristine places,” Anderson said. “Our goal is different. Everything we do
is about protecting, enhancing or restoring ecological function.” The land
Advanced Ecology conserves may be beautiful, but historically it has been
impacted in some way. The company is willing to assume the risk and liability
of restoring the land’s ecological function.
As examples of typical projects, the company may reclaim a row crop field
located in a river bottom and restore it to a forested wetland or the company
may stabilize an eroded riparian area or rebuild a channelized stream and
restore its function or it may replace habitat for an endangered species that
was affected by nearby construction.
To ensure as much success as possible in its restoration efforts, Advanced
Ecology’s team created a nursery branch, Terra Native, to grow a majority of
its replacement hardwood seedlings. Knowing that the best way to ensure
successful vegetative restoration is using plants adapted to the region’s
growing conditions, the Terra Native team gathers seeds and acorns from the
property that Advanced Ecology will restore or a nearby property and grows
them out under exacting conditions to meet the company’s quality standards.
“Mother Nature is fickle enough,” Anderson said. “We try to control as many
variables as possible to ensure our success.”
Once the restored ecosystem has been proved functional, Advanced
Ecology, with regulatory approval, sells the mitigation credits. Then, to protect
the ecological function in perpetuity, the property is enrolled in a conservation
easement. At this point, the company either holds on to the land or sells it
to a private property owner who is interested in recreational property and will
uphold the conservation easement.
“It’s important to the Advanced Ecology team that projects are structured so
that the land can continue be managed for compatible recreation or ranching
activities by private landowners after we have moved on,” he said.
To date, Advanced Ecology, their private equity partners and joint venture
landowners have committed over $60 million dollars in undertaking more than
20 mitigation-related projects in five states, conserving or enhancing over
20,000 acres of habitat.
“At Advanced Ecology, we’ve built our business on respect for the land,”
Anderson said. “Our goal, like that of private landowners across America, is
to leave the land in our care better than we found it.”

WHERE IT BEGAN —
Texas Wildlife Association was founded in 1985 to fight efforts in
Austin that would’ve denied Texas landowners the opportunity to
use high fences as wildlife management tools on their properties.
THE FIGHT CONTINUES...
• To reform eminent domain laws so Texas landowners are seated at the
decision-making table, ably protecting their rights, with full access
and transparency
• To reaffirm and maintain that groundwater is a vested property right of
the landowner
• To convince courts of law that property rights must be honored
• To strengthen border security, and protect Texas landowners’ property
and way of life
• To maintain and improve landowner liability protections
• To secure more transparent and predictable process for private
landowners involved in navigable water proceedings and regulatory actions
OUR FIGHT WILL NEVER END!
Texas Wildlife Association serves Texas wildlife and its habitat, while
protecting property rights, hunting heritage, and the conservation efforts
of those who value and steward wildlife resources.

MARKET REPORT
Hunting and wildlife have become an increasingly important source of
both income and recreation on ranches across Texas. As landowners have
sought ways to maximize wildlife habitat, restoring rangeland with native
plants and grasses have garnered a growing amount of attention. In South
Texas, where the Eagle Ford Shale is leaving its mark in the heart of the
Last Great Habitat, researchers at the Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Research
Institute (CKWRI) have been on the frontlines developing plant varieties
and techniques for restoring native rangelands.
I tracked down Forrest S. Smith, Director of the CKWRI’s South Texas
Natives and Texas Native Seeds projects, and grilled him mercilessly about
his favorite topic. Below is everything that you ever wanted to know about
the native rangeland restoration, but were afraid to ask.
What are the benefits of native plants and grasses?
We know that native plants evolved with native wildlife over hundreds
of thousands of years, providing sustenance and habitat. A lot of the
introduced species are relative newcomers to the landscape and we
don’t know what benefit, if any, they might have for wildlife. In fact,
we’re determining that many have characteristics that may actually be
detrimental.
Plus, native habitats are more diverse. A native habitat may have
several hundred species in a fluctuating equilibrium with no one plant
species dominating. On the other hand, in an exotic grass community the
vegetation is much more of a monoculture.
For instance, if you have a thick stand of old world bluestem, it out
competes every other plant and dominates the landscape. If you are only
interested in supporting a single species, such as a cow, a monoculture
may work, but if you have 50 species of wildlife trying to survive on a
landscape that has one of type of plant, a lot of the wildlife will not be
provided for.
Essentially, a diverse wildlife population has to be supported by a diverse
plant community.
What are the most common misperceptions regarding native rangeland
restoration?
Range restoration is a quick, easy fix. Range restoration is not quick,
it’s not easy, it’s not cheap and the results aren’t guaranteed. If you are
shopping for a property and wildlife is your main goal, I advise you to
purchase a property with native habitat, even if it has been overgrazed
and abused, instead of attempting a broad-scale restoration on a property
that has been planted to exotic grasses.
Unfortunately, there is a widely held, but mistaken notion that you can
throw out some native seeds and, in three years, magically, you will have
diverse native range. It doesn’t work that way. Native range restoration is
a process and people should be aware that it takes commitment for a long
haul.
A little bit of restored habitat is better than none. In theory that may be
true, in practicality a little bit of restored habitat may not make a noticeable
difference. For example, if you have 1,000 acres and restore one acre of
the property, obviously, it is not going to have a dramatic effect. Generally,
you have to work on a scale that matters for the wildlife species you hope
to benefit.
With that said, there are notable exceptions. Migratory species such as
neotropical birds and monarch butterflies can benefit greatly from oneacre
tracts of restored habitat customized to their needs located along
their flyways. If you have an area that has quail, but lacks bugging and
nesting areas, you can create those in relatively small patches and quail
may begin to use them readily and be benefitted. Turkeys that have
avoided an area because it lacks roosting structures will move in quickly
once those structures are available.

RESTORING NATIVES
ON RANGELANDS
by Lorie Woodward Cantu
Natives here are natives everywhere. You just have to consider the
geography of Texas to know why this is false. A plant adapted to survive
in the High Plains isn’t going to make it in the Rio Grande Valley any better
than a plant adapted to the Piney Woods is going to survive in the Trans
Pecos. In fact, native plants generally do best within 200 miles of their
origin.
Ecoregions also provide another good predictor of where a native plant
will work best. When restoring rangeland, it is a good idea to use seeds
that originated in the same ecoregion as the planting site.
Natives are drought proof. It is true that native plants will often survive
drought when others don’t, but that doesn’t mean that they will be lush,
green and verdant while others wither away. At some level of drought,
all plants die. Native plants are adapted to drought. In response to dry
conditions, they generally turn brown, produce seeds, and die. The seeds
will remain dormant until it rains again and the cycle will start over.
What are the downsides to native rangeland restoration?
It can be very expensive, very time-consuming, very technical and,
because, it is so weather-dependent, very variable. Many times, you don’t
know if a project is going to work until year three or four. It takes planning,
preparation, and patience -- a whole lot of patience.
Why are native plant and grass seeds so expensive?
Seeds of native forbs, wildflowers and grasses are expensive because
they’re more difficult to produce than crop seed or exotic grass. When
you cultivate native plants in their natural environment, they’re subject to
the pests and diseases that occur there. Plus, all of the characteristics that
make them desirable as a plant in a native habitat, like their tendency to
go dormant during drought, make them difficult to cultivate in an artificial
environment.
Another factor is the size of the market. As I said before, native plants
are best suited to growing in an area 200 miles from their point of origin,
meaning that by virtue of their limited growing region, they are a specialty
product and have limited markets. In comparison, the same variety of
Coastal Bermudagrass may be grown successfully from Texas to Georgia.
Why can’t scientists just splice a gene here or there to create
inexpensive, easy to cultivate natives suitable for a larger area?
Because then they wouldn’t be natives or have the characteristics that
made them desirable in the first place. Even though traits like seed
dormancy make seed production difficult, they are important and desirable
for the species long-term survival on rangeland.

MARKET REPORT
Tracking Texas Small Property Sales: a Pure Numbers Game
On a price per acre basis, Texas rural
land buyers pay more for small acreages
than for large properties. A number of
circumstances contribute to that situation.
First, the numbers of potential buyers having access to sufficient funds needed to
purchase a small tract is much greater than the number of individuals that can afford
the total price tag for the large properties. More buyers ensure more competition
for the tracts available for sale, leading to more spirited bidding in the small end
of the market. Second, prices paid for improvements generally represent a greater
portion of the total price for small properties than for larger properties. For example,
a horse stable on a 50 acre property contributes more value per acre than it would
on a 500 acre tract. Because of these kinds of influences, small tract prices should
always exceed prices for more sizable properties.
Markets in the Austin – Waco – Hill Country of central Texas (Region 7
ASFMRA Report) provide an example of markets where the differences between
small and large property prices have expanded. The chart styled Texas Region 7
Small Property Prices shows the disparity between large and small property prices.
In this Region 7 market, small properties are those that are smaller than 50 acres. For
the 20 years between 1966 and 1985, those small-tract per acre prices average 1.5
times the price of properties in the larger end of the market. That ratio fell well short
of the average of 1.8 posted between 1966 and 2013. Ignoring the period presiding
Texas Region 7 Small Property Prices
over sales of distressed and foreclosed properties between 1986 and 1993, reveals
that in the 20 year interval from 1994 to 2013, small property prices averaged more
than 2.1 times large property prices, a 40 percent increase in the average spread seen
in the earliest years. These facts suggest that Region 7 small tract market trends are
now fundamentally different than those observed in large property transactions.
From 2000 through 2006, the spread ranged between 2.2 and 2.7 before
falling back to the long-run average in 2008 and 2009. By 2013 the ratio had returned
to 2.3, indicating that small tract prices are shooting up faster than larger properties
in Region 7. None of this analysis focuses on the underlying economic and social
market forces. Never the less, it will be interesting to see if the acceleration in small
property prices is an indication that large tract prices will follow.
