The Whole Farm Podcast
The Whole Farm Podcast is brought to you by CHONEX.
Whole-farm planning is at the center of regenerative agriculture and at the core of the conversations on this podcast. Each episode explores how soil health, nutrient management, crop performance, and farm economics are interconnected, and why managing them as a system matters.
Featuring growers, agronomists, researchers, and industry partners, The Whole Farm Podcast focuses on practical, data-driven insights that support long-term farm resilience. From nitrogen efficiency and soil biology to regenerative practices and operational decision-making, these conversations are designed to help farms function better as a whole.
At CHONEX, we work alongside growers to improve soil health and farm resilience. Subscribe for more conversations on soil health. Learn more at chonex.ag.
