With over 10 years under his belt he’s refined his farm business to be lean on labor and focused in scope as his primary crops are wholesale carrots and potatoes. He’s also excited to be getting into grain and doing more intensive rotations with cover crops. We start off the episode with a look at his new harvester, hop in the truck to check out the fields, before digging deeper into his motivations and visions of his farming career later in the episode.  Support the show [https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=RHYMA9NZPGW4U] Visit the website to see photos/videos from the visit: https://thefarmersshare.com [https://thefarmersshare.com] Follow the show on Facebook [https://facebook.com/thefarmersshare]and Instagram [https://instagram.com/thefarmersshare]: @thefarmersshare Subscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thefarmersshare [https://www.youtube.com/@thefarmersshare]
