Del Ficke is a farmer near Pleasant Dale, Nebraska and the co-founder of the GrazeMaster Group (https://www.grazemastergroup.com/), which provides consulting services to farmers, ranchers, and landowners who wish to heal their land. The team at GrazeMaster Group includes farmers, scientists, nutritionists, small-business and marketing specialists, and more! Del has even developed his own breed of cattle which is bred for rotational grazing.

In this first of two conversations with Del, we discuss caring for the land and restoring the soil as an essential part of Christian stewardship of God’s resources and the recovery and revitalization of rural communities.
