  • Summary

  • Host Karen Welch is joined by Matt Garner, executive director of The Range Amarillo, and Ken Rainwater, PhD, a retired Texas Tech University professor and water/environmental consultant. The conversation focuses on The Range’s plans for building Amarillo, Texas, into a food hub by

    attracting beef, dairy, crop and energy production industries. They say water scarcity and water conservation will change production across the High Plains.


    The Rain We Keep Podcast is produced by Panhandle PBS with support provided by the Tecovas Foundation and the Carol K. Engler Foundation. It is an extension of the water conservation discussion begun by a Panhandle PBS documentary series under the same title.
