Recently, Joel Hollingsworth—a young rancher who scaled one of the largest ultra-high-density grazing operations in the country—wrote an open letter to MAHA and the federal government. Starting with nothing—no money, no agricultural background, and no cows—he grew to over 500 head in less than five years, secured 700 acres of owned land and 120 acres leased land, and even rescued herds that had lost their leases along the way. He did all this while practicing true regenerative management.
