Adam Daugherty, Coffee County Tennessee Conservation District

Since 2013 Coffee County, TN USDA-NRCS District Conservationist Adam Daugherty has been working on transitioning long-term no till producers into dynamic managers of higher functioning ecological production systems.  Along this journey many operations have made exponential strides to resource rejuvenation, while others may have not achieved the same levels of success.  Adam will share through his experience that the underlying denominator was not the “how” but rather the “why’s” and how strategic ordering of these principles can lead towards or derail successes.
