Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode, we dive into the journey of our farming operation from having our own sows to custom finishing pigs, emphasizing the importance of creative thinking and diversification in agriculture. We'll explore the benefits of direct-to-consumer sales, cover crops, and the modern advancements in farming technology. Reflecting on historical market crashes and evolving consumer trust, we discuss the challenges and potential for young farmers today.
