In this episode, I talk with John Johnson from Poplar Ridge Family Farm. This is John's first year raising hogs so he started with a small mixed group of feeders. He started his pork business with intentionality, however. Focusing on his brand, his story, and his web presence got him off on the right foot.

In this episode, Chuck Lewis (Sheraton Park Farms) and I discuss the topic of castration. Is it an archaic practice that needs to be outlawed? Does it still serve a purpose on the farm? How and when should you do it? We cover these questions and a whole lot more in this episode.

In this episode, I talk with Tanner Spurlock who operates Fuller Farms in TX. Tanner shares intimate details of the data he tracks for his pastured pig operation. He explains how this data has allowed him to grow exponentially in less than 3 years. Tracking ROI can seem daunting, but it really pays off in the long run.
I also want to thank him for making the spreadsheet available for our Patreon supporters.
