Kevin Hicks and Joel Simmons took some time away from the turf industry to attend the ACRES USA Annual Conference and Trade Show, the premier regenerative agriculture conference in our country. Speakers relayed their experiences on their farms, talking about how organic matter can be built up in any soil. Since carbon is being sequestered and held tightly in the topsoil, the regenerative farms are not losing topsoil at the national level of about 50%. These farmers are now making money, family farms are being saved, and young people are getting excited about staying in the business.
Kevin and Joel brought all the enthusiasm home with them, and they’re excited to discuss the ways in which these principles and practices can work for the turf industry.
