About

We know changing farming practices can seem risky. Sometimes, all you need to get started or take the next step is to try that One Good Idea.

One Good Idea is a clearinghouse of videos and podcasts that feature farmers’ ideas and experiences with practices that are helping them improve their soil, land, and bottom lines – such as cover crops, no or low till, rotational grazing, and buffer strips, to name a few. It is where farmers can learn from farmers, and from non-farmer experts too, about how to be profitable and successful with these practices.
