A Farmer’s Footprint farmer feature article profiling the Nuss family’s regenerative transition at Nuss Farms in Lodi, CA. Recounts the pivotal moment when patriarch Dave Nuss attended Kiss the Ground’s Soil Health Academy with Gabe Brown, Allen Williams, and Ray Archuleta, catalyzing the family’s shift away from conventional practices. Describes the brothers’ approach of starting small — trialing cover crops, reducing tillage, and partnering with Pasturebird for integrated pasture-raised poultry rotated through fields in moveable coops to restore soil health at scale. Includes direct quotes from Tyler Nuss on the business case for regenerative transition (higher profitability through reduced inputs and regenerative premiums), and highlights The Modern Acre podcast as the community hub for next-generation farmers learning regenerative practices.
