Award-winning regenerative experience from Johnny Hunter, 3rd generation farmer
Today's podcast features Johnny Hunter and Harry Farnsworth! Johnny Hunter is a third generation farmer, running the Castor River Farms in Southeast Missouri. Back in 2012, he decided to switch from conventionally tilled and furrow irrigated, to a no-till and cover-crop system to improve soil health and profitability. His award-winning farming methods lower carbon emissions and elevate the quality of his crops. He is a client of Rabobank and today we catch up with him and hear more about his experiences, what triggered his decision and how he improved his business. Harry Farnsworth joined the Carbon Bank last year and works predominantly on farm interventions, looking at how farms might implement these practices that reduce and sequester carbon, and what they might yield in terms of ecosystem payments.
