Ehrich Elk Creek Ranch Supports Regenerative Agricultural Practices

Ehrich Elk Creek Ranch LLC, (EEC) located in Piedmont, South Dakota, is a family-operated ranch. Our family has been committed to agriculture for over one hundred years. While we acknowledge that the ranch has struggled with inconsistent stewardship practices in the past, we are now dedicated to improving these practices and assisting other operations facing similar challenges. Our goal is to humbly serve the land and leave it better than we received it, under the responsibility of Derek Ehrich, who serves as a steward of this mission.



We are proud to partner with the TC Alliance to distribute resources and support regenerative agriculture. Together, we are assisting in alfalfa trials that study soil health and crop resilience, providing insights to help local farms thrive.

We are grateful to collaborate with the TC Alliance and their network of tribal partners across Indian Country. By working alongside Native Nations, ranchers, and farmers, we aim to build meaningful relationships and share knowledge that benefits both the land and the people who depend on it. Through cooperation with the TC Alliance, we are committed to building a sustainable future for agriculture in the Northern Plains.
