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