Can Conventional, Regenerative & Organic Practices Get Along? | The Granary
The Granary

29m
In this down-to-earth and downright funny episode of The Granary, Damian Mason pulls up a chair with Chad Henderson, Johnny Verell, and Kelly Garrett to tackle the question: Are the lines between conventional, regenerative, and organic farming starting to blur? The answer? A resounding maybe.
The crew dives deep into soil health, the myths of “buying yield,” and why regenerative practices are catching on faster than expected. You’ll hear real talk about what actually works in the field—like cover crops, reduced tillage, and using biology instead of brute-force fertility. Plus, they get honest about failed experiments, why cereal rye gets a bad rap, and the economics of cover cropping (hint: cattle help).
It’s practical. It’s hilarious. It’s a roundtable of real farmers comparing notes, sharing failures, and thinking ahead. And yes, someone still owes Mike Evans an apology. Maybe.
