Enabling me to see the world from a different perspective. More than most and cherishes the life that was afforded tome. I always took note of how each part of the globe farmed and took care of their agricultural resources.
Maybe it was foreshadowing things to come
but having the experience of seeing different agricultural work has formed him into a better farmer today. When serving is what you have done for so long, naturally, it becomes who you are.

Where to start! Let's start off with the simple things!

farm tours, and host on-farm training to network with other farmers/ranchers. During my on-farm training received support from my local USDA, extension, and institutions of higher learning.
Currently collaborating with a group of small-scale farmers to create a cluster that will produce a larger quantity of fresh, locally grown produce. Therefore, enabling the local farmers to become sustainable and profitable.
Some of the practices I have implemented under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) are: - High Tunnels - Tree/Shrub Establishment - Tree Stand Improvement - Prescribed Grazing - Pipe Installation - Establish Monarch Butterfly
Habitat - Critical Area Planting - Grade Stabilization. After finding help from the EQIP Disaster Assistance plan from USDA to replace his High Tunnel from the winter storm of 2021, I will be growing beans, greens, squash, tomatoes, peppers, and value-added produce on two acres of land.
In the process of clearing additional acres to add pastured-raised pigs and free-range poultry. My priority is adding regenerative agricultural and climate-smart practices that enhance the soil. My innovative way of thinking led me to participate in organic farming practices, also known as
Regenerative Agriculture. With help from my local USDA service center and other entities. Resulting in a noticeable difference in a short period.
