Ep 57 - Teale Simmons: The Science of a Profitable Regen Transition


Listen Later

In this episode, Conan sits down with Teal Simmons, founder of Agrisol, to unpack one of regenerative agriculture's most overlooked truths: you can't build a thriving farm system if the economics don't stack up. As Teal puts it "You can't be green if you're in the red."

Teal brings a grounded, systems-based lens to the regenerative transition, walking through his Roots Framework and the practical steps farmers can take to move toward healthier soils without blowing up their bottom line.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why most farmers make the same costly mistakes when transitioning to regenerative practices
  • How to manage risk while changing your farming system
  • The central role of photosynthesis in building soil biology and long-term farm profitability
  • How to use foliar nutrition, intercropping, and phosphorus management as practical levers for change
  • How to budget for regenerative inputs — and know when to back off
  • Whether you're knee-deep in a transition or just starting to ask the hard questions, this episode gives you a framework to think about regenerative farming as a whole-farm economic strategy not just a set of practices.
