Regenerative Agriculture Pioneer Hub

Joel Salatin

Christian Agriculture and Multi-Species Integration

Joel Salatin operates Polyface Farm in Virginia, demonstrating how Christian agriculture and biblical stewardship create profitable, sustainable operations. Known for the famous Eggmobile system and "salad bar beef" rotational grazing, Salatin proves faith-based farming can heal land while producing superior food through multi-species integration.

Learn Joel Salatin's complete methods including rotational grazing, pastured poultry, and direct marketing strategies.

Gabe Brown

Soil Health Revolution Through Cover Crops

Gabe Brown transformed his North Dakota farm by increasing soil organic matter from 1.7% to over 5% while eliminating most external inputs. His five soil health principles and complex cover crop cocktails provide scientific proof that regenerative practices improve both environmental and economic outcomes.

Learn Gabe Brown's soil building methods including cover crop systems and no-till practices for Texas conditions.

Dr. Allen Williams

Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing Systems

Dr. Allen Williams combines scientific research with practical ranching experience, focusing on adaptive multi-paddock grazing systems that optimize both animal performance and land health. His work provides the scientific foundation for rotational grazing benefits including soil health improvement and carbon sequestration.

Study Dr. Allen Williams' scientific approach to adaptive grazing systems for Texas rangeland improvement.

Greg Judy

No Risk Ranching and Lease Land Success

Greg Judy built profitable operations across multiple Missouri properties through "no risk ranching" emphasizing mob grazing, custom grazing, and strategic land leasing. His methods prove Texas ranchers can build successful operations without massive land purchases through relationships and natural systems.

Explore Greg Judy's no risk methods for profitable ranching through lease agreements and mob grazing.

Will Harris

White Oak Pastures Regenerative Transformation

Will Harris transformed his industrial Georgia operation into a regenerative showcase at White Oak Pastures, demonstrating how conventional farms can transition to profitable regenerative systems. His transparent approach shows both challenges and rewards of converting to holistic, sustainable agriculture.

Follow Will Harris' regenerative transformation story and methods for converting conventional operations to regenerative systems.

Dr. W. Richard Teague

Research on Grazing Systems

Dr. Richard Teague's research at Texas A&M provides scientific validation for rotational grazing benefits including carbon sequestration, soil health improvement, and enhanced biodiversity. His work offers Texas-specific data supporting regenerative grazing practices for both environmental and economic benefits.

Review Dr. Richard Teague's research on grazing system benefits for Texas ranching operations.

Ray Archuleta

Soil Health Education and Biology Focus

Ray Archuleta's passionate soil health education emphasizes the critical role of soil biology in agricultural success. His demonstrations show how tillage destroys soil structure while cover crops and proper grazing build the biological systems that support profitable, resilient farming operations.

Discover Ray Archuleta's soil biology focus and practical demonstrations for building healthy Texas soils.

Jim Gerrish

Management-Intensive Grazing Pioneer

Jim Gerrish pioneered management-intensive grazing systems in Missouri, demonstrating how strategic grazing management dramatically increases carrying capacity while improving pasture health. His practical approach makes rotational grazing accessible to ranchers of all scales across diverse climates and conditions.

Learn Jim Gerrish's grazing management techniques for maximizing Texas pasture productivity through intensive management.

Allan Savory

Holistic Management and Planned Grazing

Allan Savory revolutionized grassland management through holistic decision-making and planned grazing that can reverse desertification. His work demonstrates how properly managed livestock can heal degraded landscapes while building soil health and sequestering carbon through intensive grazing followed by adequate rest.
