Episode Details

Join the Soil Sisters as they discuss their enriching experience at Holistic Management International's Regen Ag School, which has empowered them to ask the right questions to make the next right move on the road to healing their family's land. If you're considering continuing education in holistic management or want practical tools to plan for profit in family farming and ranching, dig into this episode. The sisters rave about the valuable tips and tools for holistic land management and the open-hearted and inspiring community they found through HMI. They also touch on succession planning and adapting operations in a way that makes both profits and sense.

Thank you to HMI for offering scholarships for training farmers and ranchers currently practicing Holistic Management or who plan to do so in the near future. You can learn more and apply for those scholarships HERE.
