SPEAKER DETAILS
STEVE CAMPBELL
Steve Campbell has been around cattle in one capacity or another since the age of ten. His epiphany moment came in 1999 while recovering from a ranching injury. The resulting refocusing of his energies into learning about soil, plant, animal and human health since that time have led him to some very old books; like-minded thinkers and mentors; on farm experiments with soil fertility; and numerous speakers and conferences over the past twenty-four years.
From the Weston A. Price and Carey Reams philosophies for human health to Maynard Murray, Jerry Brunetti, Dr. Richard Olree, Gearld Fry, Will Winter and the teachings of numerous authors of yesteryear, Steve has extrapolated those learned principles of nature onto his own ranch—both land and animals--and to help others make similar improvements on their ranches and with their families health.
PRESENTATION
PROFESSIONALLY GUIDED FARM VISIT
MONDAY, OCTOBER 20
Each year we have the privilege of joining two professional guides as we visit farms in the area. Please read the bios for each of our guides to appreciate what they bring to this day. Will Winter and Steve Campbell will be on the bus speaking to us as we travel and will accompany us on each farm as we walk and observe. Each farm has a different emphasis and we will hear and learn from the farmers themselves at each stop.
Steve Campbell, will be preparing the attendees for things to look for at each stop and a bit of farm etiquette. He will provide a "short course" in soil health, plant health, animal health and human health during our traveling times. He will also be going over things we did and did not see at each farm.
Will Winter helps us see what healthy soil and plants look like. He offers insights into farming and animal health based on his years of experience. He teaches us what to look for on a farm and what really matters. He explains many factors such as climate that affect farming in this particular area. Besides that, he keeps us laughing.
We all enjoy the opportunity to have rich connections as well as the chance to learn from and appreciate more the successful farmers and others who devote their lives to producing nutrient-dense foods.
