Farming In a Semi-Arid Environment…Challenge Accepted

Derek White Heckman is a 5th generation farmer. He farms on the family surface irrigated farm in Southeastern Colorado. Derek is transitioning most of their farm to center pivots to be more efficient with the irrigation water and help build soil health. He stumbled upon soil health from watching Youtube videos of Gabe Brown. As he began learning about soil health, the more the whole system began to make sense. That started his journey into soil health and implementing new practices on his farming operation.
