    Journey into Regenerative


    Agriculture
    By

    Chelsea Green Publishing
    Gabe Brown didn’t set out to change the world when he first started
    working alongside his father-in-law on the family farm in North
    Dakota. But as a series of weather-related crop disasters put Brown
    and his wife, Shelly, in desperate financial straits, they started
    making bold changes to their farm. Brown?in an effort to simply
    survive?began experimenting with new practices he’d learned about
    from reading and talking with innovative researchers and ranchers.
    As he and his family struggled to keep the farm viable, they found
    themselves on an amazing journey into a new type of farming:
    regenerative agriculture.

    Brown dropped the use of most of the herbicides, insecticides, and


    synthetic fertilizers that are a standard part of conventional
    agriculture. He switched to no-till planting, started planting diverse
    cover crops mixes, and changed his grazing practices. In so doing
    Brown transformed a degraded farm ecosystem into one full of
    life?starting with the soil and working his way up, one plant and one
    animal at a time.

    In Dirt to Soil Gabe Brown tells the story of that amazing journey
    and offers a wealth of innovative solutions to our most pressing and
    complex contemporary agricultural challenge?restoring the soil. The
    Brown’s Ranch model, developed over twenty years of
    experimentation and refinement, focuses on regenerating resources
    by continuously enhancing the living biology in the soil. Using
    regenerative agricultural principles, Brown’s Ranch has grown
    several inches of new topsoil in only twenty years! The 5,000-acre
    ranch profitably produces a wide variety of cash crops and cover
    crops as well as grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured laying hens,
    broilers, and pastured pork, all marketed directly to consumers.
    The key is how we think, Brown says. In the industrial agricultural
    model, all thoughts are focused on killing things. But that mindset
    was also killing diversity, soil, and profit, Brown realized. Now he
    channels his creative thinking toward how he can get more life on
    the land?more plants, animals, and beneficial insects. “The greatest
    roadblock to solving a problem,” Brown says, “is the human mind.”
