Research Ranch Advisory Team

Emilio Carillo: I’m a University of Arizona (U of A) graduate with a B. S. degree in range management. My career with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) began as an intern in 1996 at the Willcox Field Office. As the summer internship ended in Willcox I returned to the U of A & worked part time in the NRCS Tucson Field Office. I graduated in 1998 & began working full time. As a NRCS Field Office employee my major responsibilities were to provide land owners (ranchers & farmers) with conservation planning & management advice on private lands. In my current position with NRCS I’m responsible for training new employees & keeping everyone update to with new technology. Also I assist our field office on any special projects where expertise is needed in range management.

As a 6th generation Tucsonan I feel I have special ties to Southern Arizona. My family began ranching on what is now the east side of Tucson in the late 1800’s. The ranch my family once operated what is now the Tanque Verde guest ranch. Although my family no longer ranches we continue to raise horses and enjoy hunting and the outdoors.
