Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Stockyard Sessions, we sit down with independent plant and soil health educator Joel Williams to explore the connection between healthy soils, resilient farms, and thriving farmers. Drawing on his extensive global experience in soil management and resilient grazing systems, Joel shares practical insights into how biodiversity underpins soil function and why “roots matter more than shoots.”

Joel also offers simple, everyday indicators any farmer can use to assess soil health on their property, discusses the growing movement toward soil-centric farming, and shares his thoughts on how education empowers producers to adapt, innovate, and build resilience in the face of climate challenges and evolving market demands.

This podcast is brought to you by Atlas Ag – the team behind Atlas Carbon and MaiaGrazing. Atlas Carbon offers Australian livestock producers a market-leading solution for soil carbon projects, merging years of practical experience with scientific know-how and advanced analytics from our grazing management tool, MaiaGrazing.
