  • Good Pragmatic Approach to Regenerative Ag

    I think the pragmatic approach to converting from conventional to a biologically based approach is helpful. I have a 50 year old organic farm/Ranch, but none of my neighbors have ever switched. Maybe they need this to step off the NPK train.

  • A Soil Health Treasure

    I have been on a mission trying every regenerative practice I can in my neighborhood yard. I have clay soil and I have southern grass that doesn’t want you to grow anything else and demands great amounts of water and is temperamental at best. As I have navigated soil health, I read a book by Elaine Ingram. I found Korean natural farming and then I met Mr. Kempf at a homesteading event in Waco, Texas. I sat on the edge of my seat scribbling feverishly and I was so delighted to find that he has do... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 188: Eliminating Ground-Applied Urea with Mike Omeg
Q: What impact did these changes have on harvest quality and labor efficiency?
The changes yielded higher packouts and better fruit quality (BRICS, firmness) while labor efficiency improved due to higher fruit yield per worker; blocks produced nearly 13 tons per acre with strong packouts, and harvest workers earned substantial daily wages due to higher productivity.
Episode 188: Eliminating Ground-Applied Urea with Mike Omeg
Q: What other changes accompanied the nitrogen shift, particularly regarding carbon and sugars?
We began focusing on carbon as an energy source, testing different sugars in foliar and irrigation applications to drive larger leaf growth on new growth. This carbon-centric approach supported healthier trees and better growth responses, enabling continued optimization in subsequent seasons.
Episode 188: Eliminating Ground-Applied Urea with Mike Omeg
Q: How have nitrogen applications and nutrient absorption changed with the new approach?
Nitrogen applications were shifted away from blanket ground applications to targeted fertigation and smaller, timed foliar inputs. This improved the tree's ability to metabolize nitrogen, reduced ammonium buildup, and enhanced calcium and micronutrient uptake, leading to better overall nutrient balance.
Episode 186: The Power of Precision Management and Multi-Species Covers with Mike Thompson
Q: What has been the economic impact of the three-thirds pivot rotation compared to a single-crop approach?
The three-thirds rotation generally increases overall revenue and stability by allowing a high-value cotton crop to be supported by diversified phases (corn, wheat, and cover crops) that also improve soil health and water efficiency, leading to better long-term profitability even in tough years.
Podcast Extra: Ask Me Anything with John Kempf - July 10, 2026
Q: How should we approach blending nutrients in field applications—are these blends effective and safe?
Blends can be effective when designed to complement each other and support biology; allow time for blended products to interact and observe sap responses to validate efficacy.
