Some of his favorite hobbies are fishing, kayaking, and hiking. His passion for farming developed while spending time on his grandpa and uncle\u2019s farm south of Kearney, sparking a desire to farm in harmony with nature. In college, he studied Water Science and quickly realized the interconnectedness of water, soil, and ecosystem health. Adam faced challenges breaking into farming without assets or connections, but his journey led him to the Grain Place, where he began as an intern in February 2024 and became a resident farmer by May. Adam is eager to continue learning about organic and regenerative agriculture, from field preparation and irrigation management to caring for cattle and hogs.<\/div><div class=\"col-12 my-3 d-lg-none\"><\/div><div class=\"col-12 col-lg-6\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grainplacefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adamBrown.png\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"adamBrown.png\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"nt_clearfix\"><\/div><div data-jarallax data-speed=\"0.2\" data-img-position=\"center\" data-img-size=\"cover\" data-img-repeat=\"no-repeat\"  data-type=\"scroll\" class=\"agro-section-wrapper vc_custom_1739040674675 nt-has-fill jarallax jarallax-bg jarallax-content-moving jarallax-bg-scroll mobile-parallax-\"><div class=\"container container-stretch\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"nt-column\"><div class=\"nt-shortcode-wrapper\"><div class=\"row nt_row_inner_1541716273389 nt_row_inner-has-responsive-data\" data-res-css=\"@media (max-width: 992px) {.nt_row_inner_1541716273389{ margin-top: 100px !important;margin-bottom: 100px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 20px !important; }}\"><div class=\"nt-column col-sm-6\"><div class=\"nt-column-inner\"><div class=\"nt-wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grainplacefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/JayG.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-large\" alt=\"\" title=\"JayG\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"nt-column col-sm-6\"><div class=\"nt-column-inner\"><div class=\"nt-wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1776964341475\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"info-heading\">Jay <span>Goertzen<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jay Goertzen is a Farmer and Community Builder for the Grain Place Foundation.\u00a0 His main role is to share about regenerative organic farming practices with curious and interested parties.\u00a0 Jay draws on his 15+ years of farming background to teach and support individual farmers looking to modify their current farming practices.
