Soil Regen Introduces Regenerative VerifiedTM Label

The first rigorous and scientifically backed Regenerative VerifiedTM process is now available to the agricultural and food industries.

Salado, Texas: Soil Regen announces Regenerative VerifiedTM, a new scientifically rigorous process to validate labeling of food products grown and produced using regenerative farming practices. Using a two-step system of certified soil testing analysis, along with production management verification, this innovative process confirms and validates the use of the Regenerative VerifiedTM label. Soil testing analysis will be conducted by Regen Ag Lab and regenerative farming practices include but are not limited to: cover crops, rotational grazing, mob grazing, reducing fertilizer inputs, reducing synthetic chemical inputs, diverse crop rotations, minimizing mechanical soil disturbance.

Recent studies suggest food grown using regenerative farming practices contain increased density of mineral micronutrients, higher omega-3 fats, and a better-balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats in beef and pork (Montgomery et al., 2022). This research supports Steffan et al., 2017, assertion that soil has a profound effect on human health. Furthermore, research indicates consumers are willing to pay a premium for food products grown using methods to improve water quality and reduce carbon footprints.

Our Regenerative VerifiedTM process provides traceability, transparency, identity preservation, and increased profitability for hard working farmers will satisfying the consumer demand for nutritious food which is also good for the environment - Dr. Liz Haney, co-owner of Soil Regen.

Farmers, Ranchers, and food companies are encouraged to partner up with Soil Regen, the first company to offer Regenerative VerifiedTM with Regenerative Certified laboratory testing by contacting Liz Haney, Ph.D. - liz@agsoilregen.com or Russell Hedrick - russell@agsoilregen.com or by visiting www.agsoilregen.com

About Us: Soil Regen is the conviction that the foundation of agriculture starts from the ground up with soil/plant interactions. By partnering with nature and utilizing holistic management practices, our team of experts and consultants work with farmers and ranchers to improve farmer/rancher profitability, human health, resilience to climate, carbon storage, water quality, and quantity. Devoted to American Farmers regenerating the land, Soil Regen puts farmers first by verifying and validating Regeneratively GrownTM grain and Regenerative VerifiedTM products.

Russell is known as one of the most progressive young farmers in the country. Russell has been a featured producer in Top Producer Magazine, Furrow Magazine, and on RFD TV, Ag PhD, and National No-Till Farmer for profitability farming by reducing fertilizer inputs and using soil health practices on cash crops. In 2017, he won the North Carolina Corn Yield contest, the first person to win in the state using regenerative practices. Russell’s operation focuses on maximizing profits and direct consumer marketing for all their products, including corn, soybeans, wheat, barley, and pastured beef and pork. He is the founder of Farmers Reserve Distillery, co-founder of Regen Mills and Heritage Ground, co-owner of Soil Regen, LLC, and has partnered with Foothills Distillery producing the first bourbon in North Carolina since prohibition. In 2021, Russell won the North Carolina Soybean Yield contest, having the highest NC soybean yield through 2021.

Liz is a soil and ecosystem scientist with experience in soil testing and analyses, carbon and conservation practice modeling, and an expert on the Haney soil health test, founded by Rick Haney. Liz’s drive and passion are helping to improve producer profitability, environmental sustainability, and human health through regenerative practices and soil health. Throughout her career she has developed an expansive network of scientists, thought leaders, consultants, farmers and ranchers within the sustainable agriculture space. Liz loves nothing more than creating community and is skilled at coordinating and conducting educational events, workshops and conferences to bring together today’s leading innovators in regenerative agriculture.
