Regenerative Agriculture in Southeast Kansas

On this episode of the K-State Regen Ag Podcast, we spoke with Dr. Gretchen Sassenrath and K-State ag extension agents James Coover and Lonnie Mengarelli. Dr. Sassenrath is a retired crop production agronomist who was based at K-State's Southeast Research and Extension Center in Parsons, KS. James Coover is the crop production agent for the Wildcat Extension District, which covers Crawford, Labette, Montgomery, and Wilson Counties. Lonnie Mengarelli is the Agriculture & Natural Resources Agent for the Southwind Extension District, which covers Allen, Bourbon, Neosho, and Woodson Counties. We discussed the unique growing environment of Southeast Kansas, what research has shown about the efficacy of regenerative practices in the region, and how local extension agents are working with farmers to help best incorporate regenerative practices into their cropping systems. https://www.agronomy.k-state.edu/about/people/faculty/sassenrath-gretchen/ https://www.wildcatdistrict.k-state.edu/ https://www.southwind.k-state.edu/ https://www.kstateregenag.org/ Intro Music - Jenny's Theme by Jason Shaw sourced from freemusicarchive.org, CC by 3.0 US Outro Music - Home on the Range, recorded by Tom Munch, sourced with permission from the artist https://tommunch.com/

Regenerative Agriculture and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi with Endy Lopes Kailer

On this week's episode of the K-State Regen Ag Podcast, we spoke with Endy Lopes Kailer, a PhD Candidate in the K-State Department of Agronomy, whose research centers on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). We discuss what AMF is, why it matters to regenerative agriculture, and the initial results of Endy's PhD research. Tune in to learn all about how these microscopic fungi are essential to nutrient and water uptake in many of our staple crops in Kansas. If you would like to learn more about Endy's work and hear her speak in person, please join us at our June 4th, 2026, Field Day at Guetterman Family Farms.
