We’re taking a trip back to science class this week as Haley is joined by Sam Baker of WriggleBrew to dig deep - literally - into the power of earthworms. These humble creatures are an underutilized resource in modern farming and ranching, but their nutrient-rich castings and surprising ability to break down plastic may hold the key to the future of regenerative agriculture. Discover how cutting-edge research and unconventional innovation are transforming soil health, boosting drought resilience, and giving ranchers a sustainable edge. The future of ranching is wriggling just beneath your feet - tune in to find out how to harness it.
