• Podcast Extra: Farm to Table Talk - Fresh Eyes to Fix Farms with John Kempf

  In this Podcast Extra, John Kempf joins Farm to Table Talk, hosted by Rodger Wasson.  Rodger is a seasoned food and agriculture expert from a Central Illinois farming family. He brings together chefs, farmers, policymakers, and researchers to discuss how food is grown, prepared, and shared. The podcast explores stories and ideas shaping the modern food system for anyone curious about their food’s journey. In this episode of Farm to Table Talk, Rodger and John discuss: How John’s Amish roots shaped his approach to revitalizing degraded lands Why Soil microbiome and minimal tillage sustain healthy, productive soils Nutrition and microbiome management to make crops resistant to pests How Plant sap analysis can help predict crop health more accurately than tissue analysis How AI tools provide non-linear agronomic recommendations using comprehensive data. How a generalist approach integrates diverse fields for practical farming solutions Additional Resources To listen to more episodes of Farm to Table Talk with Roger Wasson, please visit: https://farmtotabletalk.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

• Podcast Extra: The Market Gardener Podcast - Why Nutrient Density Is the Future of Farming with JM Fortier and Kish Johnson

  In this Podcast Extra, AEA’s Director of Partnerships and Expansion, Kish Johnson, joins JM Fortier, founder of the Market Gardener Institute, for a compelling conversation on the Market Gardener Podcast. In this episode, they discuss how data-driven tools like SAP analysis and foliar sprays are transforming regenerative farming. Kish shares how farms are eliminating pests and diseases through optimized plant nutrition and improved photosynthesis. The conversation dives into the connection between soil biology, profitability, and nutrient density. Kish also addresses skepticism around ag “products” and offers a humble, science-based approach to farm improvement. The episode wraps with news of a research partnership between AEA and the Market Gardener Institute to adapt these tools for small-scale growers.

• Podcast Extra: Field Talks with John Kempf and Cole Neese

  Join AEA founder John Kempf for Field Talks, a series of in-the-field conversations. This episode features Cole Neese, a corn and soybean grower in Indiana. Together, they explore real-time agronomic insights, crop progress, challenges, and success stories from the growing season. In this episode, John and Cole Neese, a farmer from West Central Indiana, discuss: Excessive Rainfall Challenges: Cole faced persistent wet conditions, saturating soils and delaying corn and soybean emergence. Success with Accelerate on Soybeans: Applying Accelerate at R2 increased soybean pod counts by 50-80%, though drought later limited yields. BioCoat Gold in Stressed Conditions: BioCoat Gold significantly improved corn performance in a late-planted, highly stressed field with low yields, likely due to enhanced mycorrhizae activity. Improved Soybean Pod Integrity: Regenerative soybeans showed stronger pods, resisting shattering during harvest, likely due to enhanced cobalt and copper levels.  About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

• Episode 157: Farmers of Life, for Life with Grant Breitkreutz

  Grant Breitkreutz is a farmer from Minnesota who transitioned from conventional practices to a soil health–focused approach. Alongside his wife Dawn, he transformed their farm through no-till, diverse cover crops, adaptive grazing, and continual learning. He’s known for asking “why,” experimenting boldly, and sharing openly what’s worked and what hasn’t. Grant is a key voice in agriculture because he proves what’s possible when farmers take ownership of their decisions and data. His operation is profitable, resilient, and community-driven. He mentors others, helps lead the Minnesota Soil Health Coalition, and focuses on farming for life, not just for yield or labels. In this episode, John and Grant discuss: The pivotal role of questioning assumptions Developing a seven-grain blend for chicken feed that improves bird health, which created a profitable niche market The power of adaptive grazing and how walking cows across a field can accelerate soil health regeneration The importance of local adaptation in regenerative farming How nitrogen management impacts not just yields but weed pressure and overall profitability The growing importance of farmer-led communities like the Minnesota Soil Health Coalition Additional Resources To learn more about Grant’s work at the Minnesota Soil Health Coalition, please visit: https://www.mnsoilhealth.org/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

• Episode 156: Data-Driven Regeneration with Jonathan Lundgren

  Jonathan Lundgren is an agroecologist, farmer, rancher, and beekeeper, and founder and director of the Ecdysis Foundation and Blue Dasher Farm. Ecdysis Foundation is leading the Thousand Farms Initiative, providing data to validate regenerative agriculture’s impact on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. His work challenges conventional farming by fostering farmer-scientist collaboration and advocating for sustainable practices that address global ecological issues. In this episode, John and Jonathan discuss: How fully regenerative farms can store carbon equivalent to seven years of U.S. emissions, acting as carbon sinks. How biodiversity, including fungi, insects, and birds, rapidly returns to regenerative farms, enhancing water cycles and soil fertility  Prioritizing connections with nature, family, and community How row crop farmers face increased depression, Parkinson’s, and cancer  How resistance to innovations impacts organic and regenerative growers  Additional Resources To learn more about the Ecdysis Foundation and the Thousand Farms Initiative, please visit: https://www.ecdysis.bio/featured-project About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).
