The Accidental Rancher

The Accidental Rancher. July 2022. Rancher Will Buchanan surveys the hay grown to feed his cattle on his regenerative ranch. This image was shot for American Public Media's podcast 'Field Work.' We traveled to two ranches, one in Colorado and one in Montana, to profile ranchers using soil regeneration techniques.
