Whether buying or making your own, how do you tell if compost is any good? We go deep on this question with Jason Gearheart of Integrated Elements Compost in Columbus, Indiana in this week's podcast interview. Jason honed his compost-making skills as a student of Dr. Elaine Ingham's Soil Food Web School, and now he makes a variety of products including vermicompost, biologically active compost, compost tea and more.Biologically active compost goes beyond macronutrient analysis to make sure compost has enough of the beneficial microbes to build the soil life that is so beneficial to plants. In this interview we talk about what classes of microbes we are looking for, how to identify them and how to encourage the right ones during the composting process. We also discuss the merits of different compost feedstocks, composting temperature and turning intervals, and how to know when compost is done in this exploration of one of the most important soil amendments!Connect With Guest:Website: iecompost.com Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.

As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to check in with farmer/CPA Sarah Scott to ask about tax and accounting best practices to make sure growers aren't leaving money on the table and are ready to move into 2026 as strong as possible. Sarah and her family run Scott Farm & Flower and Allegiant Tax & Accounting Services, so she understands both the accounting world and how farm businesses operate. In this episode, we make sure your accounting software subscription is paying for itself by discussing how to get the most out of the records you're already keeping, so they're not just for tax compliance but also help you make better farm decisions.We also talk about tax-smart ways to invest a profit in equipment or your retirement. We discuss how farm income averaging can help you on taxes, especially if you have one unusually good year, so the profit can be averaged over multiple years. We also consider when accelerated depreciation can be useful, how to do next year's budgeting with this year's numbers, and more in this week's Growing for Market podcast!

After retiring from more than 30 years of farming, much of it at Potomac Vegetable Farms in Virginia, Ellen Polishuk started Plant to Profit to keep teaching the next generation of growers. In this interview, we talk about the farm trends she is seeing with her clients, and how the farm business landscape has changed over the years. We discuss the perennial problem of farm labor, possible solutions, and how year-round growing is changing the kind of worker that farmers need.We also talk about whether it's possible to make more money by scaling down, whether loss-leaders make sense for market farmers, and strategies for dealing with increasingly wilder weather.

Wild East Farm was one of many in North Carolina that suffered from catastrophic flooding during Hurricane Helene in September 2024. Parts of the state received 15-30 inches of rain during the storm, resulting in flash flooding and extensive tree blowdown. Almost a year after the storm, we caught up with Noah Poulos to talk about the lead-up to the storm, how they tried to save their animals and crops, and the aftermath.Noah shares insights into the farm's recovery process, the importance of diversified farming in spreading risk, and the community's role in supporting local agriculture during extreme weather events. In an era when extreme weather is becoming more common with climate change, we also talk about farm planning considerations and setup in order to anticipate and manage risk in a future with more volatile weather.
