Episode notes

Will Harris: I wanted to start the podcast with these two jars that you so kindly brought over because when I was at White Oak, I've been there a number of times. A one-inch rain event on Lake Cove land is 27,000 gallons of water. And it's not unusual in the coastal plain of Georgia, who are about 80 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, to get a five- inch rain event. All but one half-inch, half-inch of the real soil here, and the rest of it, rushes down to the Gulf ofMexico.

Today on the podcast, Paul hosts Will Harris to talk about the power of regenerative agriculture. Will tells his story in how he began his farm, White Oak Pastures, and shares his thoughts and lived experience on regenerative versus factory farming, whether regenerative agriculture is scalable, and how raising cattle this way affects the carbon cycle and overall environment.
