According to Luke Jones, it starts with mindset. In this thought-provoking presentation, Luke shares his journey from conventional ag retail to building a regenerative farming operation focused on profitability, resilience and stewardship. Rather than chasing every new practice, he encourages farmers to understand their own unique context, start small, and build systems that fit their land, finances and goals. Along the way, Luke shares lessons from his own successes and failures—from cover crops and livestock integration to niche marketing opportunities and diversifying farm income. More than a discussion about regenerative practices, this episode is a powerful reminder that lasting success comes from thinking differently, embracing continual learning, and having the courage to forge your own path. Whether you're just beginning your regenerative journey or looking for a fresh perspective, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to farm with greater purpose. Inspired by Luke's approach to regenerative agriculture? Join him and fellow Understanding Ag consultant Brian Dougherty for an immersive, two-day regenerative agriculture workshop in southwest Wisconsin. Through classroom sessions and hands-on field learning, you'll dive deeper into soil health, regenerative agronomy, adaptive grazing, profitability, and more—all on a working farm. Plus, early bird pricing has been extended through July 31.
