SCENES FROM THE VALLEY
MEET OUR OWNER
Ralls Easterling is a graduate of Clemson University, where he studied conservation area management. Growing up in rural Missouri on the family farm, he began hunting at an early age and quickly fell in love with the outdoors. As he grew older he found another love: one for land management and conservation. He began working extensively on managing the family farms for quality wildlife habitat.
​
“Like so many, my first taste of land management and lessons in conservation were taught to me at an early age by my father," said Ralls. "I have fond memories planting native prairie grasses and creating covey headquarters with him to provide quail habitat." Since those early days, Ralls has worked hard to create and maintain some of the best deer, duck, upland bird and turkey habitat in the Midwest.
