Gary Zimmer is Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Midwestern BioAg.  Known as the “father” of biological agriculture, Zimmer is an internationally known author, speaker, and consultant. He owns Otter Creek Organic Farm, a family-operated, award-winning 1,000 acre farm near Lone Rock, WI, and has been on the board of Taliesin Preservation Inc. since 2011. Zimmer is the author of three books, The Biological Farmer (Second Edition), The Biological Farmer and Advancing Biological Farming, and numerous articles on soils and livestock nutrition.

Gary will give a primer on the concept of "biological farming" and talk about how it can help improve a farm's bottom line.
