Regenerating Your Profits
Mac Kincaid no-tilled corn for the first time in 2016, despite widespread challenges in the tough soils of Jasper, Mo. After a disappointing first year, he was determined to press on, but knew major changes were needed. “I was in a bad financial place at the time,” he says. “My wife wasn’t happy, and the banker wasn’t happy.”
The young farmer went all in on regenerative soil health principles, diversifying his cash crop rotation, integrating livestock and adding cover crops to 100% of his ground. The Soil Health U Young Regenerative Producer of the Year provides an unfiltered look at how he “regenerated”his land and shares data from on-farm trials showing the true impact of his management decisions.
