Cultivating Connections: Lessons from Regen Ag School
Hi, y’all! Johanna here from the TX Soil Sisters.
(Show below w/ links of things we talk about. Or skip my fluff and listen here.)
Crystal and I attended Holistic Management International's (HMI) Regen Ag School back in September. On this episode of the Soil Sisters podcast we discuss what we learned, which has us empowered to ask the right questions to make the next right move on the road to healing our family's land.
If you want practical tools to plan for profit in family farming and ranching, dig into this episode. And if you're considering continuing education in holistic management, you’ll hear us rave about the valuable tips and tools for holistic land management and the open-hearted and inspiring community we’ve found through HMI and the TX regenerative agriculture community.
We also touch on succession planning and adapting operations in a way that makes both profits and sense. We’ll have experts join us on future podcasts to dig in deeper on alot of the topics from this episode.
Don’t miss the links below to upcoming HMI classes, Small Producers Initiative (SPI) workshops, scholarships, and travel stipends you potentially qualify for!
Happy farming and healthy living, y’all!
Love,
Jo (and Crystal) ❤️
