Gabe Brown is one of the twenty-five most influential agricultural leaders in the United

\nBrowns holistically integrate their grazing and no-till cropping systems, which include a
\nwide variety of cash crops, multi-species cover crops along with all natural grass finished
\nbeef and lamb. They also raise pastured laying hens, broilers and swine. This diversity and
\nintegration have improved financial success and stability while regenerated the natural
\nresources on the ranch, all without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or fungicides.

\nfunctioning ecosystems. The information Gabe shares is invaluable for farmers and
