When it comes to potatoes, Idaho is the number one producer in the U.S., growing nearly 30% of the nations supply.

Which is why more farmers are making a shift towards regenerative agriculture, using sustainable practices that have the potential to forever change the industry.
Ladd Wahlen, a forth-generation farmer and Brad Johnson, Agricultural Strategy Manager for The Nature Conservancy joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this new method of farming.
