Currently a part-time caregiver helping to take care of my grandmother. I'm from the western high plains of Kansas, grew up helping my grandpa run his cattle feeding operation.
I became interested in permaculture by way of the "Greening the Desert" video on YouTube. It led me to videos about Sepp Holzer, Brad Lancaster, Bill Mollison and many others. Living near a lot of conventional agricultural activities made me quite aware that those methods can not continue indefinitely, and I wanted to try to find successful alternatives.
My intention is to create designs and implement permaculture techniques starting with two properties that are currently owned by older family members. One property is a mostly-abandoned hog feeding operation, the other is a 30 acre plot of dry cropland that is in dire need of reliable irrigation and windbreaks.
TL;DR: Human from Earth.
