About this listen
In this episode of The Backstory, host Sabrina Halverson and lead reporter Michael Standaert explore the story behind a North Dakota family that has turned to regenerative ranching to restore their land. Facing declining crop yields and deteriorating soil, the Maddock family adopted innovative grazing techniques that use cattle to naturally rebuild soil health. Their efforts earned them the Aldo Leopold Conservation Award, a national recognition for land stewardship. Michael shares insights from his reporting and firsthand observations from the ranch, highlighting how these sustainable practices are not only improving the land but securing a future for generations to come. The conversation also offers a behind-the-scenes look at how underreported rural stories like this one come to light and why they matter.
