Invisible Stressors: EMFs, Livestock Health & the Future of Regenerative Farming with Dan Stachofsky

What if one of the biggest challenges facing livestock, crops, and human health is something we can't see?

In this episode of the Acres U.S.A. Podcast, Taylor Henry sits down with Dan Stachofsky of Essential Energy Solutions to discuss the growing impact of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on regenerative agriculture, livestock performance, fertility, food quality, and overall farm health.

Dan shares his family's personal health journey, how it led him into bioenergetics research, and why he believes modern electrical infrastructure, from cell towers and Wi-Fi to data centers and virtual fencing, may be creating unseen stress on animals, people, and ecosystems.
