I know a man who returned to the family ranch and took it over. Using HRM, the nearly doubled the carrying capacity of the ranch over a period of years.
 
Then a drought hit and his neighbors sold off most of their herds but he only sold a small percentage.  One day a neighbor drove up to the house and came in. Finally, he said that he had no grass on his land and he had noticed that across the fence on the ranch was some grass and he wanted to know more.  When told about HRM he just left.  He could not get it through his head just like most farmers can not get no-till through their head.
