Before Greg Judy was successful and a household name in the regenerative agriculture space, he was a broke, conventional rancher on the verge of losing his family farm. Join Greg as he shares his story about his origins in agriculture and how his return from personal and financial ruin.

After a life-shaking divorce and the financial collapse of his farming operation, Greg Judy hit rock bottom — but he refused to stay there. In Comeback Farmer, we follow Greg’s journey from near bankruptcy to becoming a globally recognized cattle-grazing consultant. Against a backdrop of rolling pastures and leased land in Missouri, the film captures how Greg transformed desperation into innovation, using holistic, high-density grazing and custom collaboration to rebuild not just his farm, but his purpose.

Greg and his wife Jan run Green Pastures Farm in Missouri where they manage grazing on both owned and leased land, raising cattle, hair sheep, pigs, and guardian dogs. Greg is known for sharing his methods publicly through books (“No Risk Ranching”, “Comeback Farms”) and video content, teaching others how to build profitable, low-input grazing system

Behind the Scenes

I spent three days filming with Greg on his farm in Missouri in July! It was hot and the humidity was suffocating.  My legs were covered in chigger bites by the end of filming.  I also had the displeasure of encountering a lot of ticks! Watch the behind-the-scenes making of this documentary HERE
