Viroqua Speakers
Gary Zimmer
Gary Zimmer is a pioneering voice in regenerative agriculture and a leading authority on biological farming systems. Raised on a dairy farm in northeastern Wisconsin, he holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a master’s degree in dairy nutrition from the University of Hawaii.
His early work in dairy nutrition led him to explore the deep connections between soil health, forage quality, and livestock performance. This journey inspired him to co-found Midwestern BioAg in the early 1980s, a company dedicated to improving farm profitability through soil mineral balancing and biological farming practices.
Zimmer is also the author of The Biological Farmer and Advancing Biological Farming, and he operates Otter Creek Organic Farm, a 1,000-acre certified organic farm near Lone Rock, Wisconsin. His work emphasizes the importance of mineralized, high-quality forages in dairy nutrition and the role of healthy soils in sustainable livestock production.
Will Winter
Dr. Will Winter is a holistic veterinarian, author, and regenerative agriculture advocate with over four decades of experience in animal health and sustainable livestock systems.
After earning his veterinary degree from Kansas State University in 1975, he pursued advanced studies in animal nutrition and veterinary toxicology.
He later founded one of the largest holistic veterinary practices in the U.S., integrating homeopathy, herbal medicine, chiropractic care, and animal behavior.
A co-founder of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, Dr. Winter is also the author of The Holistic Veterinary Handbook and a longtime contributor to eco-agriculture publications.
Since retiring from clinical practice in 1999, he has focused on education, consulting, and promoting nutrient-dense, pasture-based livestock systems.
He currently serves as herd consultant for Thousand Hills Cattle Company, leads the American Holistic Livestock Association, and operates Lucky Pig Farms, where he raises pastured Berkshire hogs and manages invasive species with sheep and goats.
Steve Campbell
Steve Campbell is a lifelong cattleman and regenerative livestock consultant based in Idaho. With decades of hands-on experience, Steve specializes in helping producers improve herd fertility, efficiency, and profitability through practical, low-cost strategies rooted in soil health, mineral balancing, and genetic and epigenetic selection. He is known for teaching producers how to "see" quality beef on the hoof and for his signature concept of the "Red Solo Cup Cow"—a visual framework for identifying low-maintenance, high-fertility animals. Steve has spoken at leading conferences including Acres U.S.A., GrassWorks, and the National Grazing Lands Conference, and offers on-farm consultations across North America. His approach blends old-school stockmanship with modern insights into animal observation, mineralization, and regenerative grazing systems
Taylor Henry
Taylor Henry is an Entrepreneur and Realtor in the Driftless Region. He acquired Acres U.S.A. in December '23.
He has a lifelong obsession with land, which he has turned into his career. He farms a 60-acre regenerative operation with cattle, hogs, chickens, and his two dogs, Bow and Remi. His farm, which includes an Airbnb, is an experimental blend of modern agriculture and recreational land management.
Mentored by Mark Shepard, Taylor has honed his expertise in land management. He founded "1080 Outdoors" to help landowners enhance their properties for recreational use. Taylor has provided consulting and management plans to numerous clients, both onsite and virtually.
Before becoming an entrepreneur, Taylor served as a County Sheriff in La Crosse, Vernon, and Crawford Counties. His goal is to help like-minded individuals acquire and manage land, believing it is best preserved by conservationists, farmers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Taylor is known for his deep land knowledge and commitment to honesty, integrity, and client care.

What is Acres U.S.A.®?
Acres U.S.A. is North America’s oldest publisher on production-scale organic, ecological and regenerative farming. For more than 50 years, our mission has been to help farmers, ranchers, market gardeners and land owners grow food profitably and regeneratively
WE OFFER a full range of educational products — including books and pamphlets, a monthly magazine, webinars, podcasts, online courses and both large-venue and on-farm events — to help producers find timely, practical and well-tested knowledge and advice on just about any agricultural topic
Acres U.S.A. is committed to providing information about agricultural production systems that can regenerate the soil, support the farmer and rancher, and bring healthy, nutritious food to the consumer. We bring both new and time-tested voices to the discussion of “what is to be done” when it comes to building soil health, raising healthy animals and growing nutritious crops. We amplify the work of modern agricultural leaders and innovators, and we support all efforts to increase the resilience of our farms and ranches — and the people who anchor and feed our nation.
The books we sell, and the speakers at our event2 Columns, and the editors of our monthly eNewsletter and farmer-facing website represent generations of experience in building — not mining — soils. The lessons they teach are fundamental: to farm economically, one must do so ecologically.
