National Farmers Union

Don’t forget to register for our NFUniversity Climate Class presented on Thursday, February 11. We are covering regenerative agriculture that aims at whole-syst...em productivity and soil health by focusing on building soil organic matter, above- and below-ground biodiversity, integrating animals, optimizing grazing, minimizing tillage, keeping the land green and growing, repairing the water cycle, closing nutrient loops, and minimizing inputs. Join us along with our speakers, Michael Thiele and Dr. Kris Nichols as they delve into regenerative agriculture. Registration is free! Sign up: http://ow.ly/y1bl50DvBiM
