84 - Intercropping, Manure, and More with Jason Mauck

You're gonna like this guy, although I'll warn you ahead of time, at times he's tough to keep up with. Jason Mauck is an Indiana farmer who thinks - and works - differently. Jason came back to his family's 3,100 acre crop and hog operation after his father was diagnosed with cancer. Jason's years away from the farm taught him about business and landscaping methods (he owned a landscaping company). He began experimenting with ideas he'd gleaned as a landscaper to improve the business of the farm. Listen to this high energy discussion, and you'll hear about manure usage, intercropping, relay cropping, how to harvest wheat that's interspersed with soybeans, and why sunlight is more valuable than seeding population. This was a fun interview (and this guy makes me look calm!).
