This was the catalyst that led to Brown experimenting with regenerative agriculture, a method of farming that undid the damage of conventional agricultural practices. He switched to no-till planting, started planting diverse cover crops mixes and changed his grazing practices. In doing so, 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe 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 these 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 and pastured pork, all marketed directly to consumers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe future is regenerative, no-till, organic farming and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDirt to Soil\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e is the perennial bestseller to start you on that journey, for the betterment of the food we consume and the state of our shared planet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317266948478,"sku":"NW9781603587631","price":13.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781603587631.jpg?v=1778263301","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/dirt-to-soil","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
