The Regenaissance Podcast

Austin Allred comes from a strong lineage of farmers, including his extended family. This was a great conversation hearing the structure of his large family operation, how they use their skillsets for a certain aspect of the business.

We also talked about operating a large farm, having to get creative to ensure soil health and provide healthy products, and using all of the cow manure to help fertilize their fields.

This is a great episode to see a glimpse in a large, multi-generational farm.

Steven McBee is a farmer, rancher, helicopter pilot, and even has his own reality show on Peacock called The McBee Dynasty. This was a great and very candid conversation. Steven and his family oversee 40,000 acres of farm and ranchland.

We talked about:

-His father starting McBee Farm & Cattle Co
-Quickly expanding to 40,000 acres
-Issues that arise from trying to manage, scale, and make the large operation profitable
-Transitioning to regenerative models
-How we can come together to better agriculture as a whole
-The McBee Dynasty

I really enjoyed this conversation because the one thing we the people cannot do is vilify every farmer and rancher that has been doing things conventionally. We will never make improvements or have folks wanting to be open to implementing regenerative methods if we cannot sit together at the table and have conversations.

The most important podcast episode I have done thus far. Dustin Kittle is currently suing Joe Biden after going to hell and back with the US Farm Credit, the Farm Bureau, and the USDA. In this episode, he talks about the acts of treason committed by these organizations and the hell they have put Dustin through.

He also grew up on a large poultry production farm in Alabama, where his father had 30,000 chickens raised for meat birds (broilers), and the experience working for one of the biggest poultry production companies.

This barely scratches the surface of what Dustin discussed in this episode, and there will be a part two.

As an official sponsor of MMA athlete Bryce Mitchell, I was fortunate enough to visit his farm and do the podcast in person. Bryce, who fights in the featherweight division, is also a first-generation farmer. We dive into why he made that decision, his plans with the farm, and why he wants to help educate America and the world on agriculture.

In this episode we talk all things bison! Cody has an awesome story to share:

• Growing up on a farm
• Then diving head first into the bison world, learning as much as he could
• Working on his first bison ranch, eventually working with his own small herd there
• Helping start Force of Nature's Roam Ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas with the founders of EPIC
• Working with the great Nicole Masters

And we talked on the history of bison and why they are so great for our land! I really enjoyed this one considering bison is the main logo for this brand.

One of the legends and pioneers in the space, it was amazing getting to have Joel Salatin on the podcast. We briefly covered his backstory, current agriculture climate and the proposed animal tagging, chicken feed, what can be done to bring more folks into the regenerative ag space, and more!
