Spring's Arrival: Planting and the Pulse of Rural Life
I’m sure things are getting busier every day with spring officially here.
It’s always neat to watch rural communities come to life as the days get warmer and longer — farmers out checking their fields, equipment starting to roll, and everyone just waiting for the right weather to start planting.
“Down here in the Delta we’re already drilling no-till soybeans into covers – and according to our furry field specialist, we’re doing it right!” - SCI Farmer, Adam Chappell

Embracing Change as Spring Nears
Budgeting, scheduling, fixing– so many decisions, so much to do as the season changes.
I was communicating with Jerry Volenec the other day about his farm plan this year, it’s no surprise his update to me read like the stories I hear all the time from farmers on this journey. Many small (but also big) leaps, things going well but also sometimes not, faith and bouts of fear.

Turning of the Season
With October behind us, the turning of the season is well on its way. Soon, fall will become winter and for many that offers a window of reprieve after harvest.

Harvest season is well upon us
Harvest season is well upon most of us, which means equipment is rolling and things are busy.
When the yield monitor starts running the rubber meets the road. Countless hours, decisions, and resources all leading up to then.

In Pursuit of the Regenerative Dream
The mission of SCI is to “scale regenerative agriculture”. If more farmers do more practices on more acres, society's most pressing issues (the food system, human health, the environment) will be solved. Voila!
Simple right?
As I’m sure you know, far from it.
Change is hard. Really hard. It’s especially hard when there are forces pushing against it. And it can be hard even when you know it’s also right.
Queue those of you who are changing how you farm.
Join Us In Restoring Acres
Let’s work together to engage the entire food supply chain to rapidly scale acres under regenerative management, starting with soil health.
