EP 175: Derek Giffin: The Fifth Generation of Giffin Farms
Update: 2024-09-24
Description
Derek Giffin is a fifth-generation farmer who, alongside his wife Micayla, runs Giffin Farms in Union City, Tennessee. The Giffins manage over 1,000 acres, growing corn, soybeans, wheat and hay on land that has been in the family for over a century. To create a more sustainable operation, they added cattle, and their innovative farming techniques have cut the land, water and energy required to produce healthy beef by 50%.
In this episode, Derek shares his journey of farming on a Tennessee Century Farm and the steps they’ve taken to adapt and thrive in the modern agricultural landscape. We also discuss their involvement in the Tennessee Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers program that led to their “Achievement Award” in 2022. Derek reflects on the importance of keeping farming traditions alive while incorporating new approaches to sustainability for future generations.
