Cultivating the Future: Ag Innovation, Extension, and Water Solutions with Todd Baughman
Q: How does produced water fit into farming, and what are the constraints?
Produced water could become a surface irrigation resource, but its use is currently constrained by crop consumability rules and the need to protect soil and land health; technology and economics will determine its viability.
Cultivating the Future: Ag Innovation, Extension, and Water Solutions with Todd Baughman
Q: What is extension and how did it come to be?
Extension grew from the land-grant system's need to translate teaching and research into practical, on-farm guidance for producers, serving as a bridge between universities, industry, and farmers.
Regenerating Agriculture: Principles, Proof, and Practice with Dr. Allen Williams
Q: How does regenerative agriculture relate to consumer awareness and certifications like Cotton Trust Protocol?
Regenerative practices improve phytonutrient and fatty acid profiles in foods and fibers, and certifications help connect consumers with the provenance of what they wear and eat, while ensuring measurable improvements in soil health and product quality.

Q: What are the core differentiators of Regenified's certification and how does it support scale?
