In the November episode of the WildAg Podcast, Nate and Andy sit down with renowned soil scientist Dr. Ray Ward for a deep, wide-ranging conversation on the geological history that shaped Great Plains soils, how practices like no-till and crop diversity influence long-term productivity, and why stewardship matters for future generations. From glaciers and volcanic ash to modern-day erosion, soil testing, and precision ag, Dr. Ward shares decades of practical insight — plus a few surprising stories — to help producers better understand the land beneath their feet.
