Hi, y’all! Johanna here from the TX Soil Sisters. This week’s show is a replay of our Soil Sisters Radio Hour that originally aired on KLKT-LP Radio Lockhart on June 26, 2024. If you’re not local to Lockhart, TX, you can catch the show streaming live every Wednesday from 5-6p at KLKT.org.

(Link to the show below. Or skip my fluff and listen here.)

In this episode, the Soil Sisters reflect on our recent family reunion, sharing humorous and insightful moments, including our latest inspection of the hemp field. We delve into the challenges and philosophies of regenerative agriculture, discussing soil health, weed management, and the importance (and long-term benefits) of natural solutions over chemical inputs.

We also highlight our vision to merge legacy farming and ranching with regenerative methods to not only heal the land, but save our family's 137-year-old operation.

Happy farming and healthy living, y’all!

Love,

Jo (and Crystal) ❤️
