Kim Barmann

One of six siblings raised on the CS Ranch located in northeastern New Mexico, Kim is part of a family owned and operated ranch that spans five generations. The main business is beef cattle and the CS also raises quality Quarter Horses. In 1982 Kim began managing the south end of the ranch. A desire to improve the drought-prone prairie ecosystem led her to the study and implementation of Holistic Management and the fascinating promise of regenerative agriculture. To this day Kim is a long-time soil health champion who is dedicated to bringing pioneers/advocates of regenerative agriculture principles to New Mexico. After a decade away from the ranch, Kim returned to her roots in 2017. She is excited to continue her passion of regenerative agriculture practices, which she believes is a must to sustain the CS legacy and surrounding rural communities.
