A full-length YouTube video of Scott Park’s talk delivered at Real Organic Project’s “Farmer Friday” event at Churchtown Dairy in Hudson, New York on September 27, 2024 (also published as Real Organic Podcast Episode #205, December 2024). Scott presents detailed slides on how Park Farming Organics — a 1,700-acre certified organic and Regenerative Organic Certified row crop farm in Meridian, CA — achieves profitability through soil-first practices: targeted tillage, elaborate cover crop rotations, compost, crop residue incorporation, and near-zero off-farm inputs. He discusses processing tomato production for Campbell’s/Heinz, why he avoids drip irrigation in favor of furrow, why 100% no-till hasn’t worked for him, and the financial realities of regenerative transition. The video version includes all slides not available in the audio-only podcast version.
