How Did We Get it So Wrong: The Reality of Ignoring Nature
Chip Hines Born and raised on a farm and ranch at Burlington, Colorado, ranching was always Chip’s goal. After working on several ranches in the Kit Carson, Colorado area and meeting and marrying his wife, Judy, they began leasing land and buying cows. This journey into ranching began in 1968, which was the run-up to the big cattle break in 1974. Their first cattle cycle lesson. Chip has not forgotten! In 1989 he began planned grazing and decreased even more his low input philosophy. The cattle industry has floundered in a rut of building unsustainable artificial environments for the last 40 years. Chip explains how to climb out of this rut and bring your operation into sustainability by concentrating on the basics of the natural world.  Semi-retired now, Chip published his first book on ranch management, Time To Change, in 2009 and How Did We Get it So Wrong in 2010. These were followed by a workbook, A Slantwise Guide to Prosperity in 2011.
