    The Cattle Methane Myth & How New Tech Can Help Ranches w Marine, Rancher & Horsemen: James Clement

    What if the future of ranching isn’t just raising cattle — but getting paid to be a good steward of the land?

He also shares how his work at Earth Optics sits at the crossroads of ranchers, farmers, technology, and emerging land-based markets.
