  • Great Podcast

    I’ve this podcast. It is deliberate, probing, and thorough, with a wide range of animal grazing scenarios. I love the line of questioning. The host always gets to the very practical and makes the guest explain themselves. This has become one of my favorites about grazing livestock.

  • I've been listening to this podcast for about two years when I decided to go into land stewardship with no prior experience. While some of the conversations are very deep into genetics, and equipment or practices and techniques that I knew nothing about, Cal made the topics accessible to a beginner. This podcast encouraged me to explore topics and try things that I wouldn't otherwise have been exposed to (all while getting other things done on my property thanks to the podcast format).

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

215 | How Carbon Credits Work for Ranchers | Molly Faught & Hunter Jones
Q: How long are the contracts and what happens if a rancher wants to exit or if storage underperforms?
Contracts start with a 30-year base, with a 10-year crediting period and a 20-year storage period; if storage underperforms, payments for the remaining years are adjusted through recalibration, but there is no upfront cost to the rancher and exit can occur before year 10 with consideration given to ongoing commitments.
215 | How Carbon Credits Work for Ranchers | Molly Faught & Hunter Jones
Q: What exactly is Grassroots Carbon and how does it work for ranchers?
Grassroots Carbon is a grassland carbon project developer that works with ranchers to implement grazing practices that store more carbon, qualify them for a program, and connect them with corporate buyers who purchase credits; ranchers are paid for the additional carbon stored, with a profit-sharing arrangement.
214 | Erich & Allison Henschel, Virginia | Small Acreage Grazing with Hogs, Goats and Cattle
Q: What would you tell someone just getting started?
Start with smaller, manageable livestock to learn through hands-on experience, plan fencing carefully, and begin where you are rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
214 | Erich & Allison Henschel, Virginia | Small Acreage Grazing with Hogs, Goats and Cattle
Q: What's your favorite tool for the farm?
A pickup truck is essential for moving supplies, hauling feed, and acting as a mobile workbench; they also value a simple tractor with basic capabilities for driveway and pasture work.
213 | Huw Foulkes, North Wales | Swimming Against the Current: A Micro Dairy with Red Polls and a Case for Regenerative Farming
Q: Where can others find out more about you?
Instagram is the main platform (Pantravellin) for daily updates, along with a website at pentrefelin.com; I'm also building a YouTube channel to share practical farming insights like grazing alfalfa and Lucerne.
