Grateful for 2024 and the Journey Ahead.
This past year has been a whirlwind. Taking on Acres U.S.A.® was the most important risk I’ve ever taken, and living it for a year has solidified just how meaningful this organization is. The incredible support from this community, my family, and my mentors has been overwhelming and humbling.
To our Acres community: Thank you for embracing this new direction while honoring the legacy and purpose that makes Acres so special.
To my family and friends: Your belief in me, even when the path was uncertain, has kept me grounded. My wife’s sacrifices, my parents’ endless encouragement, and the trust of my mentors like Mark Shepard have meant everything.
To our team—Weston, Bri, and Paul, along with the countless contractors and part-time team members who have contributed to our success: Your hard work and passion have been the driving force behind transforming this vision into reality. At times, this year felt like building a startup, but your hustle and dedication made all the difference. My proudest moment of 2024 came at Eco-Ag, surrounded by a team that not only valued my leadership and mission but also showed incredible kindness and support to our community. This work truly attracts the most genuine and passionate people, and I’m honored to have you all by my side as we move Acres U.S.A. forward.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We remain committed to delivering valuable, actionable information guided by the principle: “For agriculture to be economical, it must be ecological.” This is just the beginning. Here’s to 2025 and another 50+ years of Acres U.S.A.!
