Join Acres U.S.A. at our Inaugural Farm Weird On-Farm Event

Introducing the 2026 Acres U.S.A. Farm Weird Event

This isn’t a theory day. This is a systems day.

Join Jason Mauck for a deep dive into the real-world strategies reshaping profitability on large-scale row crop farms. If you're managing 1,000–5,000 acres, you already know the pressure: tighter margins, rising input costs, and a system that demands more scale just to survive.

The path forward isn’t just bigger—it’s smarter. More enterprises. More income streams. More nodes across your operation.

At this Farm Weird event, Jason will walk through the systems he’s actively using to build resilience and profitability into every acre:

  • Relay Cropping Systems – stacking crops in the same season for multiple revenue streams

  • Alley-Cropped Corn – integrating diversity into conventional row crop layouts

  • Relay Grazing – turning cover crops into livestock revenue

  • Nitrogen Strategies – reducing dependence on synthetic inputs while maintaining yields

  • Marketing & Product Development – capturing value beyond the commodity market

This is about redesigning the farm as a network of enterprises—not a single-output system.

If your operation depends on one or two checks per year, you’re exposed. The farms that thrive in the next decade will be the ones that build redundancy, flexibility, and multiple income streams into their land.

Come see what that actually looks like on the ground.

What is Acres U.S.A.®?

Acres U.S.A.® is North America's oldest publisher (est. 1971) on production-scale organic and sustainable farming. Founded by Charles Walters, for more than 50 years, our mission has been to help farmers, ranchers and market gardeners grow food profitably, sustainably, without harmful chemicals.

WE OFFER a full range of educational products — including books and pamphlets, a monthly magazine, webinars, podcasts, online courses and both large-venue and on-farm events — to help producers find timely, practical and well-tested knowledge and advice on just about any agricultural topic

Acres U.S.A. is committed to providing information about agricultural production systems that can regenerate the soil, support the farmer and rancher, and bring healthy, nutritious food to the consumer. We bring both new and time-tested voices to the discussion of “what is to be done” when it comes to building soil health, raising healthy animals and growing nutritious crops. We amplify the work of modern agricultural leaders and innovators, and we support all efforts to increase the resilience of our farms and ranches — and the people who anchor and feed our nation.

The books we sell, and the spWhat sets us aparteakers at our events, and the editors of our monthly eNewsletter and farmer-facing website represent generations of experience in building — not mining — soils. The lessons they teach are fundamental: to farm economically, one must do so ecologically.
