Despite a record-hot summer following a winter with unprecedented snowfall in Wyoming, Jackson Ramsy’s family ranch shows few outward signs of stress. The Ramsys are employing a traditional Serbian farming technique known as "Dabrovi" to conserve precious water resources. This method involves strategic land management and soil preparation to maximize water absorption and minimize evaporation. The technique allows the ranch to withstand prolonged periods of drought, benefiting from the massive snowmelt earlier in the year. Experts believe “Dabrovi” can be a valuable tool for other agricultural operations facing increasing water scarcity throughout Wyoming and the wider American West. This innovative approach showcases the potential for integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern farming practices.
