Once again, we’ll gather some of the brightest and most innovative farmers for an interactive field discussion on improving soil, grass, livestock, and our lives through Regenerative farming practices.

We’ll talk about how we’re rejuvenating and renovating pastures and improving the genetics of the herds and flocks.
