The Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition and UNL Extension Present:
Increasing Profits While Regenerating Resources

Gabe Brown

Gabe is one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement which focuses on regenerating our resources. Gabe, along with his wife Shelly, and son Paul, own and operate a diversified farm and ranch near Bismarck, ND. The Browns holistically integrate their grazing and no-till cropping system, which includes multi-species cover crops, with all natural grass fed beef, poultry and sheep.  This diversity and integration has regenerated the natural resources on the ranch without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides.  Wildlife populations thrive in this ecosystem.  Whitetail deer, sharptail grouse, pheasants, partridge, turkey, raptors, coyotes, fox and too many non-game species to count make their home on the 5,000 acre ranch which is located only two miles from the city of Bismarck. Over 2,000 people visit the Brown’s Ranch annually to see this unique operation for themselves.  They have had visitors from all 50 states and 15 foreign countries.


Come listen and interact with Gabe discussing:

• Decreasing inputs while increasing yields
• Livestock – The missed income opportunity
• Producing corn for only 1.42/bu.
• Regenerating your soil resource.
• Opportunities to bring the next generation into the operation.
• Lowering your cow wintering costs
