  Happy New Year everyone! Here's our coverage of the MFGA 2024 Regen Ag conference in Brandon, Manitoba.  We both attended the conference and thought it was great - all of the speakers were engageing, interesting and relevant.  Thanks to our sponsors, MFGA, for having us and for organising and hosting such a great conference. These highlight clips really don't do the speakers justice, so keep and eye out on social media as MFGA will be putting the full recordings on their YouTube channel.  Thanks, as always, to both our sponsors.
