Building Nebraska's Communities From The Soil Up
Living Soils, Clean Water, and Healthy Communities
About Graham Christensen
My Background
I am a 5th generation family farmer from Oakland, NE. My family homesteaded the land we still farm today back in 1867. In order to stop erosion, we have been adopting the 6 regenerative principles, and are witnessing profound changes. I plan to share my lived experiences as the new board member for the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District in Subdivision 7.
My Priorities
I am running for the board of the Lower Elkhorn NRD because I want to see more serious dicussions on healthy soils and clean water. I believe farmer-based solutions like cover cropping and buffer strips are being overlooked and are not completely understood even though those practices are fundamental to living soils and clean water. I feel I can bridge this gap, and we owe it to the next generation of Nebraskans to move quickly.
Why I Am The Qualified Candidate
Besides my lived experiences in transitioning our farm to regenerative agriculture, I also have state and nationwide networks which I use to compare notes. By sharing my experiences, and learning from others, I continue to gain important knowledge which can help me bring more innovative solutions to the conservation goals of the Lower Elkhorn NRD.
