Details: Are you looking for a new perspective in your agricultural operation? Are you wondering how your business will survive the next year? Whether you are new or experienced in managing your resources, finances and relationships using a holistic or regenerative approach, this three day school is designed with you in mind.
Joshua and Tara Dukart of Seek First Ranch in western North Dakota believe ranchers, farmers & other ag professionals have a unique ability to simultaneously and synergistically improve soils, build healthy profits, and achieve their desired quality of life & relationships.
They also know how challenging it can be to find the right balance when not all team members are pulling in the same direction, when prices are beyond our control, and when weather just won’t cooperate.
REGENERATE can help. It won’t be a recipe or a how-to guide, because every family and every operation is unique. Instead, it’s a decision-making framework and mindset that helps all team members find the clarity they need to create successful livelihoods.
