Profile
Matthew Adler is a Graduate Research Assistant at Lincoln University of Missouri and the operator of Elm Spring Farm in central Missouri, where he runs a working research and demonstration site focused on regenerative grazing, small ruminants, and rebuilding soil function.
Before agriculture, Matthew completed an MBA and served in nuclear weapons operations with the Department of Defense and Department of Energy — a background that shaped how he approaches complex systems, risk, and execution. He now applies that operational mindset to on-farm research, building low-cost monitoring systems that give producers real data on grazing pressure, regrowth, and overall performance.
His work centers on measurement, not intuition. Resilient systems, not hopeful ones.
Focus: Adaptive Grazing, Small Ruminant Systems, Forage Management, Pasture Monitoring
Geographic focus: Central Missouri (USA)
