Profitable Pastures will take place on March 17th at the Elmwood Community Centre on March 17th, 2015.  This years' keynote speaker will be Joshua Dukart. Joshua is a Certified Educator of Holistic Management who speaks and teaches regularly throughout the United States and Canada. Joshua’s career path started as an Agricultural & Bio-systems engineer, but has evolved into a professional role of educator, facilitator, and mentor. Through this progression was born a consulting business that works with land managers, families, and organizations in assisting them with achieving sustainable balance of people, finances, and resources.

Joshua also works for the Burleigh County Soil Conservation District. This soil health team serves as an educational and support network for agricultural producers in developing grazing, cropping, gardening, and cover cropping plans for the purpose of enhancing soil, plant, animal, and human health.

Additional supporting speakers TBD.
