AgEmerge Podcast 150 with Adam Daugherty Soil Health Specialist - NRCS State of Tennessee

As a trailblazer in soil health and regenerative practices, Adam Daugherty, a farmer, educator, and NRCS Soil Health Specialist for the State of Tennessee. Adam has inspired farmers to embrace big, diverse cover crops and innovative no-till practices that challenge the conventional norms. So listen in as we talk about his journey that’s full of resilience and practical wisdom. Adam is the new Tennessee State Soil Health Specialist after serving as the district conservationist for the Manchester Field Office since 2013. He began his NRCS career in August 2002 as a soil conservationist at Manchester. He was selected as district conservationist at the Winchester Field Office in 2005 and served as the area resource conservationist in the Murfreesboro Area Office from 2008 until May 2013. Adam operates a small family farm where his wife, Jaime, and two sons, Brady and Tanner, specialize in regeneratively grown produce. They continually experiment with pushing the limits on biomass management and agro-ecological production systems. Recently Adam has begun expanding the application of the soil health principles into his annual wildlife management systems. In his spare time, he is an avid outdoorsman. If not rolling down covers or planting and managing a crop, Adam tries to spend ample time at traditional archery competitions bowhunting whitetail deer, or coaxing in thunder chickens. Adam was born in Cumberland County, grew up in the masonry and stone fabrication industry, and graduated from Cumberland County High School. He has a bachelor's degree in agriculture from Tennessee Tech University and a master's degree in biosystems engineering technology from the University of Tennessee.

AgEmerge Podcast 149 with David Kleinschmidt

David Kleinschmidt is the owner of Progressive Agronomy Consulting Services. His experience, keen observations, and thorough scrutiny of data makes for a great discussion as he and Monte explore real-time soil health systems and the tools he uses to evaluate those systems. There are no silver bullets when it comes to the tools and resources farmers implement. But there is a path forward built on informed decisions, adaptability, and a deep understanding of your unique farming system. As David shares, soil health is a journey, not a destination. With his work focusing on better soil testing, nutrient cycling, and the power of timing and diversity, he continues to bridge the gap between conventional and regenerative practices, empowering farmers to make informed decisions that benefit both their present needs and future sustainability. And if you’d like to make informed decisions on adopting effective soil health practices, let us help! You can contact us at asn.farm and find us on Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube and Rumble. David Kleinschmidt grew up on a diverse family farm in west-central Illinois, cultivating corn, soybeans, wheat, hogs, and even Christmas trees. Originally pursuing veterinary studies, he shifted to agricultural economics after realizing the importance of managing farms for profitability. From 2004 to 2012, David worked in ag retail, selling seed, chemicals, fertilizers, and installing planter systems. His career took a pivotal turn in 2012 when he began promoting cover crops to farmers, sparking his interest in soil health and the overlooked biological dynamics of farming. This shift led him to a path of observational farming and in-depth research into soil biology. In 2018, David left the corporate ag retail world to start consulting, embracing a purist approach to promoting cover crops, no-till, and holistic soil management. Today, he focuses on empowering farmers with advanced soil testing, optimized nutrient application timing, and fostering microbial diversity, bridging conventional and regenerative practices to enhance both immediate yields and long-term soil health. https://www.facebook.com/progressiveagronomyconsulting Got questions you want answered?

It is the creator, developer, and administrative entity providing sponsorship and oversight among a coalition of established stakeholders that each contribute to a program of Better Fed Land, Better Fed Animals, and Better Fed People. With its stakeholders, BetterFedFoods will transform the U.S. agricultural system from one based on subsidies to one based on producer premiums, using Climate-Smart practices. Since 2006, Bernard L. Hansen has devoted his time to researching the beneficial role of essential fatty acids in animal diets. Lowering the Omega 6:3 ratio is essential in reducing inflammation to improve animal performance and production, including beef cattle, dairy, swine, and poultry. Over 10,000 data points and numerous commercial feed trials document that essential fatty acids increase fertility, decrease anti-biotic use, and provide a multitude of associated health benefits. Microalgae play a major role in the delivery of essential fatty acids when included in daily feed rations by feeding the micro-biome to improve gut health. BetterFedFoods partner NBO3 Technologies manufactures a microalgae-based feed nutrient, Great O Plus, which has sold to many feed suppliers across the United States. Other strains of microalgae play a similar role in feeding the microbiome in soil, improving soil organic matter (SOM), and increasing plant biomass and root structure. BetterFedFoods provides the A+ soil amendment for crops and pastureland using microalgae as a bio-stimulant to improve yield and protein. The BetterFedFoods coalition includes AgWise, a technology platform providing complete traceability of food products to educate producers and consumers about the benefits of verifying the BetterFedFoods program. BetterFedFoods was proud to receive the Texas Independent Cattlemen’s Association 2024 Agri Business Award. Linking the producers to the consumer is our mission. https://betterfedfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/betterfedfoods Got questions you want answered?

AgEmerge Podcast 107 with Tyler Dawley of Big Bluff Ranch

Tyler Dawley owns and operates Big Bluff Ranch in Red Bluff, California. Big Bluff leads with quality, health, and happiness as their guiding principles. And while they say Big Bluff Ranch may be a small organic chicken farm compared to high-yield industrial operations, they’re one of the largest producers of pasture-raised chicken on the west coast. Today Monte and Tyler explore the path Big Bluff Ranch is taking to build a resilient food system that fits their context. And the great thing is, Tyler is willing to share not only their success but also their mistakes so he can help growers learn from his experiences. Tyler describes himself as the “Head Chicken Wrangler”, listen in and you’ll learn why. Watch episode: https://youtu.be/KAAJYN2H-8Q Big Bluff is a true family-owned and operated ranch. Quality, health, and happiness are our guiding principles - and they impact every aspect of what we do, from how our pastured chickens are raised, to how they’re fed, and everything in-between. More than just a sustainable chicken farm Big Bluff Ranch may be a small organic chicken farm compared to high-yield industrial operations, but we’re one of the largest producers of pasture-raised chicken on the west coast. "We’re small because we are a true family-owned ranch, with each family member pitching in to help. We’re small in that we are personally involved in every aspect of production, from how we raise our pastured chickens to locally sourcing feed and processing with people we know who share the same values. This personal involvement ensures that animal welfare, sustainability, and regenerative farming remain at the forefront of everything we do. But Big Bluff Ranch is much more than that." Big Bluff Ranch: a destination for eco-tourists and an advocate for environmental stewardship. The ranch is a beautiful 2,776 acres of rolling hills, grasslands, and oak woodlands that border the Mendocino National Forest and the Coast Range. Because of this, we’re also a destination for ecotourism and partner with our community in the shared goal of a sustainable and healthy landscape. We work with the Wildlife Conservation Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Northern California Regional Land Trust to implement the goals and objectives of the Red Bank Creek Riparian Restoration Project. Our partnership will help restore 3 miles of Red Bank Creek, a tributary to the Sacramento River. https://www.bigbluffranch.com/ Got questions you want answered?
