Many MAHA supporters might assume America’s farm states are leading the push toward regenerative agriculture and away from chemical dependence. In Nebraska, the reality is more complicated.
I'm very pleased with the push by MAHA to get back to regenerative farming! It's a slow process but worth it. I buy our foods from regenerative farmers and encourage others to do so as well.
Seems like a no brainer that less chemicals on the fields would help make the water cleaner. I was raised in rural NE in the 90s and still live next to corn fields - and thankfully my family has always had clean water, whether by distillation (that my dad who was an engineer installed in our home himself) or R.O. But I still have conversations with my friends & family about how their tap water is bad for them to drink! It’s mind boggling! Our state sits on top of the largest aquifer - and our water is poison.
This is a great article. Such an important topic and the list of what needs to happen, at the end of the article, makes tons of sense. I would imagine other countries may be doing something similar and some may be ahead of us. Is there any guidance there? I mean, maybe we don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Ten years from now, Graham Christensen (or a close associate) will be the leader that Nebraska needs. He knows what it will take. He just needs to tired enough of no-one else doing it to pick up the mantle himself. Someone with the resources that he needs should support him and his network.
Zach Bush is a really good resource and is doing some great work on regenerative agricultural transitioning. So important to return the land to its health so it can nourish us as well.

This is where much of our tax
Money should be going. $$ for free eduction and grants for equipment and reduced crop insurance rates for those transitioning to regenerative.
