In this episode of the Acres U.S.A. Podcast, Taylor sits down with fourth-generation cattleman Will Harris of White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, Georgia, for a wide-ranging conversation about the current state of American agriculture and where regenerative farming fits into the future.

Will shares his perspective on the cattle market, rising land values, outside investment in farmland, and the growing challenge of making farming financially accessible to the next generation. He also discusses why he believes regenerative management can provide an economic advantage by reducing dependence on volatile outside inputs while keeping more money circulating in rural communities.

The conversation dives into White Oak Pastures’ approach to grazing, labor, direct marketing, land management and diversification, as well as Will’s experiences working with policymakers and the federal government on regenerative agriculture. Will also offers advice for conventional farmers looking to make the transition, including creative opportunities to enter regenerative agriculture without having to completely overhaul an existing operation.
