    Ep. 87 Can Regenerative Farming Replace Commodity Agriculture? w/ Josh Adams and William DeMille

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, I’m joined by Josh Adams of Living Soil Management and returning guest William DeMille for a powerful conversation about the future of regenerative agriculture, commodity farming, and soil health. We talk about the economic pressure facing today’s farmers, especially those trapped in large scale, low margin commodity agriculture, and why many are searching for practical solutions that go beyond simply cutting costs. Josh shares how living soil management offers a different path, one built on soil biology, targeted minerals, microbiology, plant diversity, and management systems that work with nature instead of against it. This episode explores how regenerative farming can help producers reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals, improve nutrient density, suppress weed pressure naturally, restore degraded soils, and create opportunities to move from commodity markets into more profitable direct and specialty markets. We also discuss the connection between healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy livestock, and human health, along with the growing consumer demand for cleaner, more nutrient dense food. If you are a farmer, rancher, steward, or agriculture entrepreneur looking for hope, practical insight, and a clearer vision for the future of profitable regenerative agriculture, this conversation is for you.

    Ep. 86 How Regenerative Agriculture Builds Better Beef, Better Soil, and Better Health w/ Patti Armbrister

    Send us Fan Mail What if weeds are not the problem, but the messenger? In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, Jared Sorensen talks with Patti Armbrister from Hinsdale, Montana, about her powerful journey into regenerative agriculture, soil health, and plant health. Drawing from her background in cattle, teaching, and years of hands on learning, Patty shares why healthier soils lead to healthier plants, healthier livestock, and ultimately healthier people. Together, they unpack practical ideas around soil biology, microbes, grazing management, plant succession, compost extracts, micronutrients, and reducing dependence on agricultural chemicals. Patty also explains how rest, leaf litter, root systems, and biological activity can speed up natural recovery on both ranchland and cropland. This conversation is filled with insight for ranchers, farmers, homesteaders, and anyone interested in regenerative farming, regenerative ranching, nutrient density, livestock health, and profitable stewardship. Patty also shares her thoughts on legacy, her upcoming books, and why the future of agriculture depends on working with nature instead of against it. If you care about soil regeneration, healthy food, sustainable agriculture, and building a stronger future for the next generation, this episode is for you.

    Ep. 85 Carbon Farming & Soil Biology: The Foundation of Regenerative Agriculture w/ Steve Diver

    Send us Fan Mail Soil biology is quickly becoming one of the most important conversations in modern agriculture. In this episode of the Profitable Steward Podcast, Jared Sorensen interviews soil scientist Steve Diver to explore how carbon farming and soil biology form the foundation of regenerative agriculture. With more than 40 years of experience in horticulture, soil science, and sustainable agriculture, Steve breaks down the science behind soil health and explains how farmers and ranchers can use natural biological processes to rebuild soil structure, increase organic matter, and improve farm profitability. Topics covered in this episode include: • The history and evolution of regenerative agriculture • Why soil organic matter and carbon farming drive soil fertility • How soil microbes, fungi, and mycorrhizae influence plant health • The role of cover crops, grazing management, and biodiversity in soil regeneration • Practical ways farmers can transition from chemical-dependent systems to biological farming systems • The power of multi-species grazing, mob grazing, and livestock integration • How microbial inoculants, compost extracts, and biological amendments work in regenerative systems Whether you are a rancher, row crop farmer, soil health advocate, or simply interested in sustainable agriculture and regenerative farming practices, this conversation provides practical insights on building living soil systems that support both productivity and profitability.
