Austin Schweizer is a 5th generation farmer from Sterling, KS. After graduating from Fort Hays State University (FHSU) in 2016 with a degree in agronomy he returned home to his family farm. Austin started farming with no-til and regenerative practices on the rented acres he farmed. Working with his family’s farm they have continued to incorporate and adopt regenerative practices in their operation. While the last years have been challenging with the drought, Austin has seen how the regenerative practices have helped hold the soil stable, utilize water better, grow the biology in the soil, provide feed for livestock with cover crops, and continue to help reduce fertilizer cost. Austin enjoys spending time with his family and working on equipment.
