In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, Neil Smith sits down with Caleb Howerton — regenerative ag designer and long-time farmer — to dive deep into system design, permaculture, and landscape architecture. Caleb shares lessons from managing bison ranches and market gardens, and reveals how he now applies permaculture principles like keyline design and willow hedgerows to build multi-layered, resilient farms. We also explore the divide between traditional agriculture and permaculture, and why bridging scale and ethics is the future of regenerative agriculture. Tune in for insight, inspiration, and practical ideas for designing with nature.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time : The Grow Renaissance Series, host Neil Smith welcomes Alex Bell of NoFence, whose journey from mixed small-farm roots in rural France through a decade in global crop nutrition at Yara and then into regenerative agriculture and precision livestock management offers a rich perspective. Together they explore how agriculture is evolving—not just in embracing new technologies and biological inputs, but in reconnecting with systems thinking, blending traditional practices with innovation, and redefining how we manage both crops and livestock for resilience, productivity and sustainability.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith welcomes Kai Olsen, a fourth-generation Alberta farmer, mechanic, and team roper, to dig into the realities of modern mixed-ag farming. From managing roughly a thousand acres of cropland (canola, barley, yellow peas) and a 120-head cow-calf herd via swath-grazing with his dad, Kai shares his journey from a 3,000-head feedlot to creating a leaner, more adaptive family farm. He talks candidly about the highs of record-calf prices, the strain of escalating input costs like grass leases and equipment, and his decision to keep the operation largely outside the government credit-and-carbon-program cage. The conversation also pivots to his passion for rodeo: how he started roping on a $3,200 horse in his teens, progressed through Canadian circuits, and connects farming, competition and community into one lifestyle. Whether you’re in beef, cropping, regenerative ag or simply curious about resilience in agriculture, this episode brings an unfiltered look at balancing tradition, market turbulence and personal purpose.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time with Neil Smith, host Neil Smith sits down with landscape architect Blair Guppy, whose practice focuses on regenerative, climate-adaptive design that weaves together ecology, culture and human experience. Blair shares his journey from the natural landscapes of British Columbia to working in dense urban settings in Brooklyn and New York, reflecting on how we might redesign our relationship with the land — whether farmland or city rooftop — and repair the “broken lines” in how we value soil, water, people and place. Their conversation explores the intersections of agriculture, urban design, finance, and Indigenous insight, asking: how do we move beyond mere aesthetics and build living systems that heal as they grow?

On this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith chats with Sophie Brauns, Director of Growth & Partnerships at RIPE (Rural Investments to Protect our Environment), about her winding path from political organizing and integrative health work into regenerative agriculture. They explore what “regeneration” truly means versus soil function, the promises and pitfalls of corporate sustainability commitments, and how we unlock capital (and policy) to reach farm gate levels. Sophie brings clarity, authenticity, and a farmer-focused perspective to the tough questions in agriculture today — what’s working, what’s greenwash, and where we go from here.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, we sit down with Sean Ortiz of EcoGem, a mechanical engineer turned entrepreneur and farmer, to explore how nature-based solutions like high-purity agricultural gypsum can help rebuild soil health and support the transition to regenerative agriculture. Sean shares his journey from launching a microalgae venture to founding We Are One Farms and leading EcoGem’s efforts to bring natural minerals to market. We talk about the differences between mined gypsum and synthetic sources, the crucial role of calcium and sulfur in soil and crop health, the importance of rehabilitation before regeneration, and how emerging technologies—from soil analytics to IoT and blockchain—are reshaping the future of farming.Contact Sean with EcoGem here!

This week on Pasture Prime Time, Neil sits down with rancher, writer, and unapologetic truth-teller Hobbs Magaret—author of Herd: The Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever. Hobbs brings a unique blend of cowboy heritage, ecological insight, and global grazing experience to the conversation. From bovine intelligence and soil as “insurance,” to the genetics behind resilient cattle breeds like the Mashona, Hobbs challenges both industrial agriculture and greenwashed narratives of sustainability. He shares lessons from Texas to Australia, and why cattle, when managed with herd density and rest cycles, aren’t just steak on a plate—they’re a keystone of planetary renewal. If you’ve ever wondered how ranching, ecology, and culture intersect—or why our future depends on animals more than we realize—this episode is a must-listen.
