Brandi McCoy

Brandi McCoy is a grazing specialist dedicated to advancing regenerative grazing management across Kansas. She joined AFT in March 2026, where she works directly with farmers and ranchers to provide technical assistance and support the adoption of adaptive grazing practices.

She brings a strong background in both conservation and ranching. She began her career as a biologist with Pheasants Forever, where she assisted landowners in improving pollinator and upland bird habitat. She later transitioned into private consulting and coaching, supporting farmers and ranchers in implementing regenerative land management practices.
