Welcome to WV BRAG!
BIODYNAMIC REGENERATION IN AGRICULTURE
CULTIVATING SUCCESS.
At West Virginia Biodynamic Regeneration in Agriculture (WV BRAG), our mission is to revolutionize farming by proving that biodynamic, biological solutions and high-tech innovations can outgrow our reliance on harmful chemicals and outdated practices—delivering healthier soils, higher yields, increasing animal livability, and stronger profits for agribusinesses.
Launched in March 2025 by the West Virginia Department of Agriculture, we’re not here to talk about potential. We’re here to show it. WV BRAG is spearheaded by farm equipment provider TOMIGUNN. The initiative is steered by Senator Darren J. Thorne, a commercial farmer representing West Virginia’s District 15, whose deep roots in farming bring practical wisdom to this effort. WV BRAG is more than a project—it’s a movement.
WV BRAG is a hub where innovators showcase transformative products and buyers gain hands-on knowledge to increase their productivity. It’s also a place where farmers exchange practical knowledge and learn about natural solutions and innovative techniques they can implement in the real world.
Join us as we dig in, test, and grow—because at WV BRAG, we believe the future of agriculture is already taking root.
TESTING & remediation
WV BRAG is a premier testing ground for equipment functionality and micro-biologicals designed to enhance crop and animal health, reducing chemical and synthetic medication dependency while boosting germination, crop stands, and livestock livability. WV BRAG also provides soil and water remediation, providing tailored recommendations to address pollutants and improve environmental health.
SHOWCASING TECHNOLOGY
At WV BRAG, you can see sensors, robotics, biological solutions, and more in a real-world environment, empowering agricultural producers and farmers to move beyond time-consuming traditional methods and embrace sustainable, commercially viable solutions. The dynamic hub fosters knowledge-sharing and real-world testing, driving the adoption of transformative tools that enhance agricultural efficiency.
sharing knowledge
WV BRAG offers a collaborative hub for equipment providers and farmers to network and exchange knowledge. A key hurdle in adopting new technologies, be in high technology or natural, is the training required. As the leading venue, WV BRAG enables companies to demonstrate products in practical settings and deliver hands-on training, equipping users the confidence to embrace advanced technologies. This engaging method speeds up the adoption of innovative solutions.
