Recorded LIVE at Commodity Classic, host Sean Nettleton and special guests Mary Pat Sass and Jena Ochsner from Beyond the Crops bridge the gap between human health and soil health—combining the principles of medicine and nutrition with crop and soil science. Just as a holistic approach to full-body health can improve overall well-being, the same philosophy applies to soil health. By addressing the root cause, growers can improve plant outcomes for generations to come.

This episode isn’t just about conventional versus regenerative farming—it’s about integrating the best research and innovations from both to drive modern agriculture forward.
