Speakers: Kit Pharo (http://www.pharocattle.com): A nationally known cattle
producer (from Eastern Colorado) and speaker who draws quite an
audience. I recommend his web page for more details.
Gary Zimmer (http://www.midwesternbioag.com/aboutMBA/index.html)
is the president of MidWest BioAg. He is a sought after speaker. His
focus is on the soil as the source of nutrients: how healthy soils produce
healthy plants for healthy livestock and healthy humans
Terry Gompert: A grazing expert (with Nebraska Extension) and
livestock producer. He will speak on two subjects; the new “Ultra High
Stocking Density” form of rotational grazing that is catching on, and
Holistic Resource Management (certified instructor).
Misc. other speakers: Tom Gould (Grassland Conservationist with the
NRCS out of LeMars field office), and possibly Dave Schramm vice
president with Terra Chemicals. He would represent more traditional
livestock enterprises and methods of nutrient application to pastures.
