Another excellent contribution on his podcast site is with the N. Dakota rancher Gabe Brown, mentioned in the David Montgomery podcast. Much of it focuses on how he integrated and used cattle to restore his soil. Gabe Brown is a clear, collected, and inspired voice for regenerative agriculture, having implemented and seen great changes on his family's ranch in North Dakota over time. In fact, Gabe’s A-Horizon (topsoil) is 27 in, and the soils on surrounding farms only have 4-6 in of topsoil! Gabe is the author of the recently published and highly-acclaimed book, Dirt To Soil <https://www.chelseagreen.com/product/dirt-to-soil/?UTM_SOURCE=REGENERATIVE_AGRICULTURE_PODCAST>, from Chelsea Green. I highly recommend reading this truly inspiring and informative book. see: http://regenerativeagriculturepodcast.com/from-dirt-to-soil On Fri, May 17, 2019 at 11:07 AM DW <dwalters...@gmail.com> wrote: > There are a million things to take away from this fascinating pod cast.
