Steve McKaskle

Organic Farmer

At a past Missouri Organic Association conference, a simple conversation during a meal led Steve McKaskle to a connection that would reshape the future of his farm. That chance meeting sparked a partnership with a national burrito chain seeking regenerative ingredients, opening the door to premium markets for his organic rice and redefining what was possible for his operation. Since then, Steve has continued to grow his reach and impact, demonstrating how strong relationships, aligned values, and regenerative practices can create long-term opportunity and resilience. In “Let’s Change Farming for the Better,” Steve will share his journey of market development, relationship-building, and staying rooted in regenerative principles while scaling his business. Attendees will gain insight into how meaningful connections can lead to premium opportunities—and how farmers can position themselves for success without compromising their values.
