d author to share stories and perspectives on life and farming in an ever-changing world where there are few constants but overarching values that still hold true. Steve is well-known f

His book contains foundational information about cover crops and farming practices, but is written by a farmer to help fellow farmers adapt and thrive in their thinking and own efforts to successfully regenerate land, build soil health, and be profitable now and into the future.
