Episode 151: People, Purpose, and Pasture with Clay Conry

Clay Conry is the host of the Working Cows Podcast. Clay’s journey into podcasting stems from a blend of personal experience growing up on a South Dakota ranch, a love for conversation, and a desire to capture the wisdom of ranchers, influenced by his background as a youth pastor and his participation in the High Plains Ranch Practicum. Over seven years, Clay has built a platform that delves into regenerative agriculture, emphasizing holistic management and the importance of human and environmental relationships.

In this episode, John and Clay discuss:

• The importance of managing personnel effectively for long-term success in agriculture

• How addressing conflict directly and seeking mutual understanding fosters stronger, healthier relationships

• The role of clear mission and vision statements in aligning teams and prioritizing meaningful action

• Why building resilient relationships is as critical as managing land and livestock

• How less-engineered plant and animal genetics can better utilize natural resources

• The benefits of producing nutrient-dense, local food for both human health and community well-being
