Education

A core leg of the Exchange: curated partner teaching on covers, bringing livestock back, managed grazing, silvopasture, and shrinking diesel and fertilizer. We summarize and credit; the full piece lives on the author's site.

69 resources from OSU, Penn State, Kentucky, WVU, SARE, OEFFA, and Stratford — lined up with FarmTec / Stinner fossil-fuel themes.
