A native of northern Colorado, Bradley Donner says he recognized his passion for agriculture at an early age. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Business with a focus on Ranch Management and explored a broad spectrum of topics including animal and range sciences, business economics, environmental sciences, and various aspects of the multifaceted grain industry.
His previous experiences included working for a grain industry leader and working with multiple ranches in several Western states, including being a unit manager and sole location employee on a first-year, 40,000-acre commercial cattle operation. Donner focused on developing a dynamic, rest-rotation grazing plan to allow for stocking grass for drought years and winter forage as well as reducing animal stress and human labor.
Donner looks forward to learning from the experiences of the professional thought leaders that the KRIRM program brings together, hoping to bring the knowledge into practice in his career.
