About me
Darron Gaus is the Assistant Director of Agriculture at the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT), where he leads producer-centered projects focused on farm resilience, water conservation, financial decision-making, and climate adaptation. He manages the Abundant Ogallala initiative, a multi-state effort supporting farmers and ranchers across the Ogallala Aquifer region through peer learning, resource sharing, and conservation strategies tailored to water‑limited production systems. His work emphasizes practical, accessible tools that help producers understand the financial and operational impacts of drought, soil health practices, and resource uncertainty. Darron is also the author of Finish Strong: Practical Farm Recordkeeping—an NCAT resource that offers streamlined, low‑barrier recordkeeping systems to improve farmer profitability and business clarity. His expertise brings together farm financial management, conservation planning, and risk reduction, helping advisors and producers integrate everyday numbers with long‑term resilience strategies.
