On the road to regeneration with Understanding Ag. With years of experience working on diversified specialty crop operations, Understanding Ag consultant Chuck Schembre has a lot of expertise to help growers successfully implement regenerative cropping and grazing practices in their orchards, vineyards and vegetable fields. But if ever runs into an area where he has a knowledge gap, Chuck says he can pull somebody in from UA’s amazing team to fill that gap.
We’re excited to announce that Understanding Ag will have six of its regenerative farming and ranching experts speaking at the 49th Acres U.S.A. Eco-Ag Conference this year. During the conference, Gabe Brown, Allen Williams, Ph.D., Brian Dougherty, Chuck Schembre, Derek Schmitz and Luke Jones will share their insights with a community dedicated to sustainable and regenerative agriculture.
When and Where: December 2nd - 5th in Madison, Wisconsin. The first two days are full-day workshops (Eco-Ag U) where each workshop is chock full of opportunities to learn from expert instructors, ask questions, and connect with others through dedicated networking times. December 4th and 5th will be the conference, featuring general session presentations and a trade show full of vendors dedicated to helping ecological farmers.

Over his decades of farming and ranching, Understanding Ag's Gabe Brown has noticed a troubling trend: the conventional farming techniques he used were degrading the soil and ruining crops. He shares how his family farm turned things around by adopting regenerative agricultural practices — and shows how the wider food system can use these same methods to improve food quality and revitalize the land.
