Working Cows - Regenerative Ranching to Maximize Profitability and Soil HealthFounding a Generational Farm (WCP 477)When we think of a generational farm we often think of multiple generations from the same family working the land over the course of centuries. Brian Dougherty and Sara Faivre are seeking to start a generational farm that is generational in it's founding and has a vision of being passed on to another generation sooner rather than later. This approach has changed the way they think about structure, roles, and a host of other crucial topics. We discuss this unique approach in this episode.Thanks to our Studio Sponsor, Understanding Ag!
