520    Gabe Brown didn't set out to change the world when he 
       first started working alongside his father-in-law on the 
       family farm in North Dakota. But as a series of weather-
       related crop disasters put Brown and his wife, Shelly, in 
       desperate financial straits, they started making bold 
       changes to their farm.  Brown - in an effort to simply 
       survive - began experimenting with new practices he'd 
       learned about from reading and talking with innovative 
       researchers and ranchers. As he and his family struggled 
       to keep the farm viable, they found themselves on an 
       amazing journey into a new type of farming: regenerative 
       agriculture. Brown dropped the use of most of the 
       herbicides, insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers that 
       are a standard part of conventional agriculture. He 
       switched to no-till planting, started planting diverse 
       cover crops mixes, and changed his grazing practices. In 
       doing so, Brown transformed a degraded farm ecosystem into
       one full of life - starting with the soil and working his 
       way up, one plant and one animal at a time.  In Dirt to 
       Soil, Gabe Brown tells the story of that amazing journey 
       and offers a wealth of innovative solutions to our most 
       pressing and complex contemporary agricultural challenge -
       restoring the soil. The Brown's Ranch model, developed 
       over 20 years of experimentation and refinement, focuses 
       on regenerating resources by continuously enhancing the 
       living biology in the soil.  Using regenerative 
       agricultural principles, Brown's 5,000-acre ranch has 
       grown several inches of new topsoil in only 20 years! The 
       key is how we think, Brown says. In the industrial 
       agricultural model, all thoughts are focused on killing 
       things. But that mind-set was also killing diversity, soil,
       and profit, Brown realized. Now, he channels his creative 
       thinking toward how he can get more life on the land - 
       more plants, animals, and beneficial insects.  "The 
       greatest roadblock to solving a problem," Brown says, "is 
       the human mind."
