40 years of catalysing agricultural innovation with Nebraskan farmer, Roric Paulman
Description
In this second episode of the season we’re joined by Roric Paulman, a Nebraskan farmer and also chair of the Nebraskan Water Balance Alliance, an organisation that catalyses best practices among Nebraska farmers.
Roric has nearly 40 years of farming experience, including across the family Paulman Farms, an 8500 acre, rain-fed and irrigated farming operation. It’s located in southwest Nebraska, with land that extends into Lincoln, Keith and Perkins counties.
He talks about how the 4th generation in the family is currently running the farm, and the 5th generation, including his young grandson, knows everything there is to know!
Roric has witnessed almost 40 years of innovation across farming, from having to manually pipe water through to IoT and sensors able to measure down to the last drop.
Speaking to Roric was so interesting. He sits at the intersection between policy and practise, discussing at the highest level through the alliance and politics yet returning to help keep things running at the farm. This is a great addition to the water-agriculture focus of this seasons podcast.
