Why is this conference worth your time? Here's what Tony McQuail said:
"We took our first Holistic Management training in 1995 and it was transformative for our family and farm. We had more time for family, we had more money and we had ways to improve our land. We now felt that the farm was "working for us" rather than "we were working for the farm".
But what really sold me on Holistic Management and helped me decide to become a certified educator was attending HM Conferences out west during the BSE Crisis. Farm meetings in Ontario at that time were doom and gloom. They were like attending a dismal wake. Yet when we went to the HM Conferences we were surrounded by ranchers and their families who were upbeat and positive about their future. Cattle were their business and BSE was hitting them hard BUT Holistic Management had given them the tools to plan and make quick adjustments. It was very encouraging. It helped me appreciate that HM was a system that made a big difference. Not just on our farm but for others as well."
