a few Words from eco-ag attendees

"We both came from conventional backgrounds and it took us a long time of humbling and un-learning to take some of the preconceived notions that we had started with and realize that it really is farming the soil and farming the biological to get everything working correctly."

________________

"It's a great conference and it always is. I always learn something."

________________

"I haven't been at the Acres conferences in many years and it seems like it has really regenerated itself with the new ownership. It's exciting to see all the speakers and I'm really looking forward to the future to see what Acres is going to do."

________________

"It's the future of the health of the entire world."

"The government agents, the extension service, the land grant universities—they are always fifteen years behind what you’ll see at Acres. The innovation comes from the from the folks with their hands in the dirt. And that's who congregates at the Acres USA conference."

Joel Salatin

Polyface Farms

"If I'm going to survive as a farmer, I’ve got to change the way I see things. I have a couple college degrees in agriculture. Never did they talk to me about the ecosystem processes and how soil really functions."

Gabe Brown

Brown Ranch

"Alternatives to chemical agriculture are slowly emerging and may very well go viral. If it does so it will be because of such efforts as Acres U.S.A., and it won’t be driven by huge chemical conglomerates, it will be driven by grassroots farmers.”
