The group diligently met with the collective purpose to increase the pace and scale at which land stewards implement voluntary practices and systems to maintain and improve soil health, and thereby the long term economic and ecological vitality of agriculture in Montana. And in September 2022, JG Research produced a report, which encompassed what was learned as well as recommendations that emerged from the effort.

One of the major takeaways from the effort both for the group at large in hearing from participants in the process as well as for me specifically in facilitating the group was the hunger for community, for connection, for conversation with people who share common concerns and cares.
