Keynote Speakers
Ray Archuleta
Ray Archuleta (pictured, left) has over 30 years of experience as a Soil Conservationist, Water Quality Specialist and Conservation Agronomist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). During his tenure with the NRCS, he served in New Mexico, Missouri, Oregon and North Carolina.
Archuleta has one big question: how can we emulate nature and create biomimicry to restore soil health? He owns and operates a 150-acre farm near Seymour, Mo., so he can “walk the walk” of regenerative agriculture.
Dr. Ray Ward
Dr. Ray Ward’s (pictured, right) mission has been to help agricultural producers make informed, sustainable decisions by providing accurate analysis and conservative recommendations. He is a trusted voice in agriculture, working directly with producers and organizations to promote responsible, science-based farming practices.
