Ear to the Ground 404: Closing the Loop

https://landstewardshipproject.org/wp-content/uploads/Ear-to-the-Ground-No.-404.mp3

Paul and Delores Moechnig are working to prove to the next generation that the road to farming’s future doesn’t have to pass through corn and soybean fields. It turns out the bluebirds and swallows appreciate the offramp they’ve taken into rotational grazing as well.
