  • ... with a healthy dose of the Gospel.

    I am involved in agriculture in Nebraska and try to continue to integrate Regenerative principles all the time. I really enjoy Clay's podcast because he provides loads of information to help educate and encourage people in regenerative agriculture. The best part for me is how he includes the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and how he helps educate people on how we are stewards of the land God has given us to take care of.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How the RANCH Act Helps Grow the Cow Herd (WCP 537)
Q: What are the next steps for this piece of legislation? Where is it in the process, and how is it being received?
The proponents are speaking with potential supporters and seeking additional co-sponsors. Senators Mike Rounds and Amy Klobuchar are co-leading the bill, and possible legislative vehicles include the farm bill, budget reconciliation, or a supplemental bill.
How the RANCH Act Helps Grow the Cow Herd (WCP 537)
Q: What does this program do specifically? How are those acres being encouraged to be put back into grass?
The proposed program would use county rental rates for payments, offer 75 percent of the county rental rate, require grazing, and provide cost-sharing for grass establishment. Establishment cost-sharing could reach 100 percent for native grass species, with additional incentives for beginning farmers and ranchers.
Starting and Scaling a Ranch from Scratch (WCP 538)
Q: What was the genesis of the start of the bull sale?
Jimmy Stewart says he developed a passion for cattle breeding as a child and had long wanted to hold a bull sale. His vision evolved toward bulls selected and developed for real-world profitability for commercial cattle producers.
Starting and Scaling a Ranch from Scratch (WCP 538)
Q: What are some of the things that really make a difference when it comes to animal genetics?

Making Intentional Pivots for Greater Profitability and Alignment (WCP 534)
Q: What led to the pivot away from cows and chickens to focusing on sheep and a broader regenerative approach?
Land condition and market realities, plus a shift toward stewardship and longer-term soil health benefits, drove progressive pivots toward a multifaceted, soil-focused operation.
