2024 CONFERENCE SPEAKERS

Eric Fuchs lives in Southeast Missouri on a diversified livestock operation where he raises hair sheep and contract grazes all classes of cattle. He has been using Holistic Planned Grazing for over eight years and has had a managed grazing system on his operation for more than 20 years.

His experience as a regenerative rancher, coupled with his work in the water and wastewater industry as a source water protection technician, has shown him firsthand how soil health-focused practices could benefit water resources.

“It was apparent that the same techniques used to make my own operation sustainable and profitable could be used on a large scale to clean up our drinking water. My passion now is to share with others the solutions to these problems."

As one of Understanding Ag's Consultants, Eric provides education, understanding, support and confidence to help clients reduce input costs, generate actual profits and ensure family farming futures.

Understanding Ag was established by four of the world’s most prominent farmer/rancher regenerative agriculture pioneers to help others transition from input-intensive, low-profit-margin conventional agriculture models to more profitable, low-input regenerative agriculture models.

As a regenerative agricultural consulting company, their mission is to “use our passion and experience to educate farmers, ranchers and communities in applying time-tested ecological principles to regenerate our living ecosystems, thereby restoring the health of all.”

Join us in welcoming and hearing Eric Fuchs at our SFFFS Conference Banquet Dinner on Monday August 5th.
