Brian Brhel

Lancaster County

Brian Brhel comes from a diverse family farm near Denton, where “out of the box” thinking was and still is the norm. The farm consists of 400 acres of non-irrigated cropland and 300 acres of grass. He has built his farming operation over the past 22 years with a focus on soil building using livestock and cover crops. He is also interested in cover crop seed production of rye, oats, forage peas, buckwheat, and hairy vetch, through which he is able to supply seed for his own operation and area farmers. He focuses on the roots of living plants and cattle as a driver of soil health, which contributes to the economic health of his farm while protecting soil as a resource.
