HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR
The BIG SOIL HEALTH EVENT "was the most enthusiastic, well-put-together, and professional event related to soil health and conservation ag practices I’ve attended. The focus on profitability was good as I’m a believer that profitability comes first. It doesn’t matter what you do to improve your farm if you lose it in 5 years for a new operator to come in and undo everything you’ve done. This needs to be the central focus of every conservation/regenerative ag talk."
