110 - Organic and Conventional in the Same Room
•
Damian Mason
Friend of Show, Andy Ambriole joins me to discuss the positives and negatives of both conventional and organic farming practices. He is the owner of BioSteward Farms and he’s been an Ag entrepreneur since age 9. He got into organic production for business reasons — he’s not a zealot like those folks at the Non-GMO Verified Project! Andy and I discuss the attributes of both cropping systems and why they’ll eventually merge, at least somewhat. The benefit of cover crops, the reality of farm rental economics, and the future of chemistry are also covered. You’ll like this lively dialogue recorded in my Granary Beef Office.
