In this episode, we welcome Hilary Graves, Vineyard and Grower Relations Manager at Booker Wines, to discuss how she successfully transitioned an Organic vineyard to regenerative organic certification. With over 20 years of field experience on California's Central Coast, Hilary brings practical strategies and candid stories about what it really takes to move beyond standard organic practices. Hilary explains the core pillars of regenerative organic certification — soil health, social fairness, and animal welfare — and why she and the team at Booker Wines chose to pursue this path. She walks listeners through how integrating multi-species cover crops, implementing low-till and no-till practices, and bringing in grazing livestock have helped improve soil structure, increase water retention, and reduce reliance on inputs. Fritz and Hilary also dig into the challenges of vineyard mechanization on steep terrain, minimizing tractor passes, and creative pest control strategies, including releasing predatory lacewings by drone to combat leafhoppers. Whether you're already farming organically or just exploring what's next, this episode offers tangible examples of how even small changes can drive long-term benefits for your soil, your business, and the environment. In this episode, you will hear: The difference between organic and regenerative organic certification How to build a diverse cover crop blend (and why 15 species might be better than five) Using a Yeomans plow to increase water infiltration without disturbing soil structure Grazing sheep for cover crop termination in a mutually beneficial partnership Why releasing beneficial insects by drone can outpace traditional sprays for pest control Follow and Review: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts!

Hi friends!  Today we're talking about another way to make money with goats – grazing for hire.  We'll talk about the infrastructure you need and different ways you can use the goat herd you already have to bring in some extra income while grazing your goats for other people to help clear out overgrown forage or mitigate fire risk.  I'll talk about our experience grazing for hire, what was challenging, what we loved, and what I think the future holds for this income option.  Let's get to it!   All the Best!

On this episode of the ReGen Brands Podcast, we're joined by Jason Haas – Partner and General Manager at Tablas Creek Vineyard. Tablas Creek is located in Paso Robles, California, is one of the pioneering wineries in the U.S. for regenerative organic farming, and was the first vineyard to become Regenerative Organic Certified®.   Jason shares the incredible origin story of Tablas Creek, born from a partnership between his father and the Perrin family of France. We explore how they brought Rhône varietals to California and why they started a grapevine nursery to supply their own vineyard and the broader wine community here in the US.   We dive into the challenges and opportunities of regenerative viticulture – from managing tillage, to animal integration, to water retention. Jason also unpacks the complexity of managing 270 acres while bottling 29 different wines. Plus, he shares insights on the economics of DTC versus wholesale channels, and how they're balancing high regenerative and organic standards with industry-wide transition support.   If you're curious about how regenerative farming shows up in your favorite glass of vino – and what it takes to make that possible – this episode is for you.   Episode Highlights:

“The morning, up until around lunch, is the best time of day to eat most of our calories. And in fact, there's been really great research. Even if you don't change the timing of your meals, if you make breakfast and lunch the largest meals of the day and dinner the smallest meal of the day, you lose more weight. And not only do you lose more weight, you're actually less hungry.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Talk about these time intervals. Why is 14 a magic number?” -Jason Wrobel  “Typically, it takes the body about 12 to 14 hours to burn through a lot of its glycogen stores. Initially after a meal, your body's gonna be burning a lot of carbohydrates—so, glucose. It's gonna burn through a lot of the actual food in the meal, then it'll store some, burn others.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson  “Are there any scientifically reported benefits for hormone health, or managing cancer, with TRE?” -Jason Wrobel  “The area of cancer is super fascinating. Valter Longo does a lot of work in both the realms of aging and longevity, and cancer. Many years ago, he and some collaborators discovered if you fast cells or animals with cancer prior to treating the cancer with chemotherapy and radiation, you could kill tumors far more effectively.” -Dr. Courtney Peterson What if the timing of your meals mattered just as much as the food on your plate? In this episode, we're diving into the fascinating science of time-restricted eating with Dr. Courtney Peterson—one of the world's leading researchers on how aligning our meals with the body's internal clock can transform our health. A Harvard-trained scientist and Associate Professor of Nutrition Sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Peterson was the first to test early time-restricted eating in humans, and her groundbreaking work is redefining how we think about metabolism, energy, and chronic disease. If you've ever wondered if nourishment runs deeper than nutrients—that your body might be seeking harmony—then this episode will strike a chord. What we discuss in this episode: Different types of intermittent fasting: how they compare, and what benefits they offer. The science behind time-restricted eating (TRE). How TRE supports weight loss and appetite regulation. Fasting, aging, and the process of autophagy. The best time of day to consume the majority of your calories. How meal timing can influence fertility and reproductive health in women. Grazing vs. structured mealtimes: what the science shows. The intersection of cancer treatment and fasting: what emerging research reveals. Hypertrophy and intermittent fasting. How fasting influences exercise performance. Dr. Peterson's personal approach to intermittent fasting.

The two catch up and share updates on their chaotic summer schedules in the world of Extension before diving into the topic of the week: pasture management in mid-June.Brad gives a detailed look at what's happening in Morris, where heavy rainfall (over five inches in the past month) has led to explosive pasture growth. With 315 cows now grazing—including the conventional herd—he's doing everything he can to keep up with the grass. He shares his strategies for dealing with overgrown pastures, including increasing stocking density, rotating more quickly, and when mowing or even baling might be necessary.They discuss the challenges of maintaining forage quality, the role of manure scores and milk urea nitrogen (MUN) as indicators of nutritional balance, and the complications posed by persistent rain—especially thistle outbreaks in organic systems where herbicide options are limited.The episode closes with practical tips for producers facing similar pasture overgrowth issues: keep animals moving, don't be afraid to mow, and have a flexible grazing plan. And of course, the excitement builds for Episode 300, coming next week!Listeners are encouraged to email their thoughts (or rebuttals to Brad's rain enthusiasm) to themoosroom@umn.edu and tune in for the big milestone ahead.Grazing and pasture management for cattleManaging perennial cool-season forage grasses in MinnesotaQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

The Midwest can be a difficult place to graze for a host of reasons. The competitiveness of the cash rent market, parasite load, mud, forage quality, and many other issues face those seeking to profitably graze in this region. Today we are joined by John Hays and Jeremy Sweeten of Understanding Ag to discuss their...

In this episode of Blazin' Grazin' and Other Wild Things, we travel through the story of the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve with Bob Hamilton from The Nature Conservancy. Bob shares how this iconic Oklahoma landscape transitioned from a failed federal park plan to a flagship private conservation project. He recounts the acquisition of the land, the reintroduction of bison, and the development of a dynamic management model that utilizes fire and grazing to simulate natural prairie processes. Joining Oklahoma State University's John Weir and Dr. Laura Goodman, Bob discusses how fire behaves on the prairie, how patch-burn grazing supports a variety of wildlife, and how GPS tracking has helped compare cattle and bison behavior. From historic land surveys to present-day fireline strategies, this conversation highlights decades of dedication to restoring and maintaining Oklahoma's native grasslands. Resources - Joseph H.
