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 negatively affecting life. 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.

Regardless of the cropping or grazing system, UA’s specialists can help you grow and profit regeneratively.
Understanding Ag’s rancher-consultants will help you understand, then successfully and profitably apply, adaptive grazing and soil health principles. Our ag sector fact sheets explain how and further detail several specific areas of our consultants’ expertise.

He and the team at Understanding Ag have helped propel our farm forward by leaps and bounds with their great understanding of how the soil functions.

Benina Montes
Burroughs Family Farm, Denair, CA
"I honestly didn’t look at the soil as a living thing. Going along on this journey, it makes you realize there is so much more than just dirt on the ground... There are living organisms down there... making that all mesh – it’s already there. Why do that synthetically when you can let nature take its course?”
Kyle Rhodd
Ioway Farms Manager, Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska:
“I had a budding interest in soil health before the project but had a very limited understanding of both the theory and practical implementation. As I was coached by Understanding Ag, I began to understand both better. Being a part of the UA project has given me hope that there is a better way to farm.”
Timothy Yoder
Hutchinson, Kansas
“I was running out of hope before the folks at Understanding Ag showed me there was a more profitable and enjoyable way to farm. It completely revolutionized our farm.”
