Agroforestry Initiative Promotes Sustainable Farming Practices

George Krejci, a dedicated farmer who passed away three years ago, has left a lasting legacy through his collection of over 30 historic tractors, which has now been donated to the Legacy of the Plains Museum in Nebraska. This collection, meticulously curated and maintained by Krejci, aims to educate future generations about agricultural history and the importance of farming. In Odisha, India, Tassar rearing is being promoted as a profitable livelihood for tribal farmers, with over 3,000 beneficiaries reporting significant income increases thanks to government support and modern techniques. Meanwhile, Kentucky's Laney Pease is actively fostering connections in agriculture, using her business and education to bridge gaps between youth and industry veterans. Missouri's conservation efforts, led by Clayton Light, emphasize sustainable practices to ensure long-term farm viability. Lastly, innovative agroforestry practices are being explored in Minnesota, where Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin is transforming depleted lands into resilient, productive ecosystems.
