  Potato, Po-tah-to 🥔 In the potato-growing hub of Idaho, Ladd Wahlen is raising his crop differently. Traditionally, farmers till their potato fields multiple times, then use fungicides, insecticides and synthetic fertilizers. Wahlen tills just once and plants companion crops—grown simultaneously with his potatoes—to build up soil biology that naturally protects them from disease. His practices are paying off: He spends less on fuel and chemicals and saves time in the field. “I think the biggest benefit is that it’s more profitable,” Wahlen says. “If we’re able to grow more natural systems, with less need for synthetic applications and less tillage, and maintain yield and quality, that benefits the bottom line.” Wahlen sells some of his tubers and uses the rest to make potato chips for his company, Roots. He’s teamed up with The Nature Conservancy on a 45-acre demonstration farm where he shares his techniques. “This is a better way,” says Brad Johnson, regenerative agriculture senior advisor for The Nature Conservancy. “We’re not using nearly as many fossil fuels, fewer synthetic fertilizers, and we’re allowing the soil to sequester carbon. And from a nutrient density standpoint, we can get a higher-quality food.” That means healthier soil, less erosion and more nutrient-dense potatoes. “And really good potato chips,” Johnson adds. 📸: Stocksy
