Jonathan Cobb

Find this speaker online

Jonathan Cobb is a fourth generation steward of his family’s land in the Blackland Prairie of central Texas. After earning his business degree and spending several years away from the farm, he and his wife, Kaylyn, decided to leave the urban life and continue the farming tradition. Five years into row crop farming thousands of acres with his father, Jonathan and Kaylyn nearly left the farm because they didn’t see a future in the industrial row crop model. Thankfully before leaving, they were exposed to regenerative agriculture and learned there was hope to both regenerate their land and enhance profitability. In addition to stewarding their pasture-based farm, Jonathan provides soil health consulting and serves on the boards for The Grassfed Exchange and Holistic Management International.

Highlights from last year’s event.

We invite you to enjoy videos from our 2017 Conference here. The annual Quivira Conference is internationally renowned for bringing together leaders, innovators, and stewards of the land for three days of provocative plenary presentations, roundtable discussions, and networking with diverse attendees from across the southwest, the country, and globe. The conference creates a unique environment where ideas are sown, exchanged, and grown. Quivira’s outstanding speakers and attendees contribute expertise in ranching, farming, conservation, community, and all things soil, which is the key to it all. Every attendee brings something unique to the table, and each departs with inspiration, new connections, broader perspectives, and the tools necessary to effect change.
