Have you been wanting to incorporate more soil health practices on your farm or ranch?

If so, we would love to have you at the 2025 Soil Health Demo Day at Olander Farms, a 5th generation family farm and malthouse located in Southeast Larimer County. Olander Farms grows barley, wheat, rye, and corn on 112-acre farm and 1500 leased irrigated acres. In 2021 Steve and Todd Olander opened up Root Shoot Malting which processes their grains into whiskey and  ready to brew malts for our local breweries. Their whiskey was just awarded as the best American-made single malt by the London Spirits Association! Denver Post Article 

The demo day will include a tour from Todd Olander on three different plots of land all with different tilling and soil health practices (5 year no till, 2 year no till, and tilled every year). Todd incorporates many practices such as intercropping, cover cropping, grazing cover crops with livestock, adding organic matter and beneficial microbes, and more. The event will also include a producer panel and discussion on the success and challenges of soil health, interactive demonstrations, and a free lunch.
