Author: Clay Conry April 12, 2025 Duration: 52:53

Principles are powerful tools that can help us to avoid the temptation to follow the crowd and ranch like everyone else. Today we talk to Bart Carmichael and Pat Guptill about their new venture together, Principled Land Managers. We discuss both of their histories with regenerative agriculture as well as how they work to foster the kind of mutual mentorship relationship they have enjoyed among those who participate in their programs.

Profitable Regeneration Summit NEXT WEEK!: Profitable Regeneration Summit April 15, 16th


Clay Conry hosts Working Cows-Regenerative Ranching to Maximize Profitability and Soil Health, a conversation grounded in the daily realities of running a ranch as a business. This isn't just theory; it's a practical dialogue for those whose livelihoods are tied to the land. Each episode delves into the interconnected management of four critical assets: the Land, the Animals, the Money, and the People. The goal is straightforward yet profound-to explore how regenerative practices can simultaneously heal the soil and improve the bottom line. You’ll hear from experienced ranchers and other leaders who share tangible strategies for better stockmanship, financial decision-making, and leadership on and off the range. The underlying purpose of the podcast is to glorify God by creating this essential platform for knowledge exchange. Listeners tuning in will find honest discussions about increasing operational effectiveness, ensuring that the stewardship of their resources leads to greater resilience and profitability. It’s for anyone ready to move beyond conventional thinking and discover how a regenerative approach impacts every facet of a ranching operation, from earthworms to economics.
