In an era where sustainable farming practices and mentorship are more crucial than ever, Brooks Farms stands out as a shining example of dedication and innovation. With a rich legacy and a forward-thinking approach, the Brooks family is not only transforming their land but also inspiring a new generation of farmers.

Ron Brooks, CEO of Brooks Farms, has always had a keen eye for conservation, a perspective that grew sharper when he began flying as a pilot. "Flying over the landscape after a rain event, I started to see the problems in ways you can't from the ground," said Brooks. "Now, I take young people up in the plane to follow the water. We observe no-till farms, like ours, where clean water infiltrates the soil, and compare it to conventionally tilled fields, where topsoil erosion is evident. It's eye-opening for the next generation."

Brooks Farms was the 2016 Wisconsin Leopold Conservation Award Winners.
