Conservation on the Farm: Conversation with Dick Cates

Join us for an inspiring conversation with two of our FFP Steering Committee members: Heidi Keuler, Fish Biologist, and Dick Cates, a Wisconsin farmer who has reimagined land stewardship on his family farm.

Guided by the principles of Aldo Leopold’s land ethic, Dick has transformed his farming practices to enhance biodiversity, protect soil and water resources, and foster ecological resilience all while still making a profit. His work offers a compelling case study on how agricultural landscapes can serve as living laboratories for conservation.
