12-year-old to talk regenerative ag at Clancy Library

On Friday, June 28 at 3 p.m, Maloi Lannan, 12, of Barney Creek Livestock in Paradise Valley will visit Clancy Library as a part of her 4-H project to teach Montana kids about regenerative agriculture — the sustainable and responsible treatment of ranch lands and animals.

In 2018, Lannan created and published “Don’t Call It Dirt!”, a coloring book that illustrates living soil and the ins and outs of living on a ranch, including the daily moving of animals and cows in a grazing cell.

Her book can be used to accompany talks about regenerative agriculture, which Lannan often combines with a slide presentation, internet resources and a hands-on livestock experience, according to Carly Delsigne of the North Jefferson County Library District.
