At a time when conventional row crop margins are under heavy pressure, John sits down with Reece Klug to explore a very different path. Reece farms with his family in eastern Nebraska, running both conventional and organic acres alongside a feedlot operation. In this conversation, they dig into what organic production actually looks like in practice, beyond the buzzwords and assumptions.Reece shares how their operation transitioned acres into organic production, the mistakes they made along the way, and the mindset shift required to move away from input-driven systems toward biology, rotations, and management. They discuss soil health changes over time, integrating cover crops and grazing, certification requirements, and how organic grain markets really work. With real numbers and honest comparisons, this episode highlights why organic production has dramatically improved profitability per acre for their operation, even through challenging market cycles.Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
