Podcasts:
Rick Haney is a researcher at the USDA and the creator of the Haney Soil Analysis, an innovative procedure to assess overall soil health. Rick discusses his work with John and shares his thoughts on the future of agriculture.
John sits down with Bob Quinn, a Montana-based expert in organic farming practices & founder of the Montana-based Kamut International, an organization devoted to high quality Khorasan wheat and sustainable agricultural practices.
John interviews Dr. Terry McCosker, Australia’s acclaimed Regenerative Ag thought leader who has worked with about 10,000 Australian farmers over the years, discussing everything from pasture ecology to proper farm succession strategies.
John interviews plant pathology veteran & agricultural visionary, Dr. Robert Linderman, discussing the benefits of mycorrhizal fungi and other bio-control agents that protect crops from soil borne pathogens.
John Kempf interviews Loran Steinlage to discuss his experiences with relay cropping, 60-inch corn, interseeding, controlled traffic farming, as well as reducing soil compaction and improving water infiltration.
John Kempf interviews Dr. Richard Mulvaney to discuss how nitrogen applications can be a waste of money, the soil test growers use to understand nitrogen, and the “potassium paradox” that describes why applying potash can be detrimental to potassium availability.
John interviews Dr. David Johnson to discuss rapid carbon sequestration, the ideal fungal to bacterial ratio for healthy soils, how to obtain those communities while saving money, and the resilience of fungally dominant systems.
John interviews Dr. Zach Bush, discussing glyphosate, its impacts on human health and the environment, and the need for regenerative agriculture.
John interviews Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms, discussing a sustainable, regenerative agriculture of the future focused on soil health, education, and farm inheritance.
John interviews Dr. Rattan Lal, an acclaimed soil scientist, researcher, and author. This episode is densely packed with information about soil health and how to achieve it, not only for farmers but also for policymakers and educators.
John Kempf interviews Ray Archuleta, a proponent of healthy soil systems. Ray delves into the history of the soil health movement and the roles that policy, society, and agriculture play in the broader global health context.
John interviews Dr. Arden Andersen, who explores agriculture from the perspective of biophysics and describes why understanding the energetic life forces is the key to gaining next-level performance from our crop genetics and environment.
John Kempf and Dr. Jill Clapperton delve into the science of the rhizosphere. Learn about the impacts of sugar on the microbial system, which crops have rhizobia that work well together, and why rapid root growth is key to inhibiting disease.
John interviews Dr. Norman Uphoff who trialed a new method of growing rice that spread globally within decades, achieving wide adoption of regenerative practices in an era when such practices were much less popular than today.
John interviews Jason Mauck, an Indiana corn, soybean, wheat, and hog producer, who thinks outside the borders of convention and has pioneered a number of innovative practices, measuring for resilience and control on inputs and yields.
