Just as all the components make up a whole ranch, all the ranches make up a whole industry.

Producers will select from a range of coverage and policy options to help them manage price risk. 3:00 PM 3:30 PM Coffee Break 3:30 PM 4:30 PM Blain Hjertaas Regenerative Agriculture Regenerative agriculture is agriculture that builds. It builds soils by increasing organic matter which sequesters carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. As organic matter increases so does water retention minimizing runoff. As organic matter increases so does biological life which translates into more nutrient dense food being produced. As organic matter increases so do yields making more profitable farmers. In short everyone wins. 4:30 PM 6:00 PM Linda Edgecombe - Breaking Busy Changing our Culture from Chaos to Calm - Linda will reveal her research and data collected from dozens of organizations on how Chaos and Busy has become the new norm and wound us into the most unproductive, stressed out and basically unhappy demographic in the past 30 years.
