Noble Research Institute Celebrates Sustainable Farming at Annual Roots & Revelry Event in Oklahoma

Noble Research Institute to Honor Sustainable Agriculture Leaders

The Noble Research Institute, known for its educational resources supporting farmers since 1945, is set to host its second annual Roots & Revelry event. This gathering will take place in Ardmore, Oklahoma, on October 21 from 6 to 9 PM. Its purpose is to celebrate and recognize farmers and ranchers engaged in the restoration and sustainable management of America's grazing lands.

At the event, the prestigious 2026 Noble Land Stewardship Award will be announced. This award honors exemplary efforts from farmers, ranchers, and landowners committed to promoting healthier grazing lands. Last year's inaugural award was presented to G Bar C Ranch and the Ellis family from Rosston, Texas. As Steve Rhines, president and CEO of the Noble Research Institute, aptly stated, “Roots & Revelry has quickly become one of the highlights of our year. It's a chance to stand alongside the producers and partners who share our commitment to the land.”

The institute’s mission is grounded in the philosophy established by its founder, Lloyd Noble, who recognized the critical need for healthy soil in the aftermath of the Dust Bowl. Today, the organization continues to guide agricultural practices towards regenerative methods that prioritize sustainability and land health over depletion.

This event marks an opportunity for networking and collaboration among producers, partners, and supporters in the agricultural community. Interested attendees can choose from various sponsorship opportunities ranging from Bronze to Presenting Sponsor, which include perks like reserved seating and media coverage. Individual tickets are available for those looking to participate in this celebratory evening.

Noble Research Institute prides itself on being the nation’s largest nonprofit focusing on improving soil health through research, education, and producer-focused solutions. The organization actively manages 13,500 acres of working ranchlands, promoting real-world insights and applications that benefit farmers and ranchers across the United States.
