In this episode of the Grazing Grass Podcast, Cal talks with Jake DeWoody - a regenerative farmer from Arkansas - about his journey in grass farming. Jake shares his thoughts on the importance of adapting farming practices to your specific context, the value of using technology and resources available on the internet, and their experiences with the Shade Shanty 600. Jake also provides insights into his methods for making the most out of their cattle herd and how moving towards regenerative farming practices greatly improved his agricultural operations.
Famour Four Questions
Firstly, Jake's favorite grazing grass-related resources are the books 'Call of the Reed Warbler' by Charlie Massey and 'Ranching Like a Twelve-Year-Old' by an author named Tom. He found these books to provide useful insights applicable to his grazing context.
Secondly, Jake's go-to farm tool is the Knipex Cobra, a highly versatile and durable hand tool that he uses daily for various tasks. If anyone wants to reach out to him through social media, Jake advises they provide a reason for their contact in their Facebook message.
Thirdly, Jake offers advice to newcomers in farming or grazing. He stresses the importance of applying the learned information from different resources in a way that fits the specific context of their farm.
Lastly, people can find more about Jake through his Facebook account under the name 'Jake DeWoody' and his YouTube channel 'Terrapin Neck Creek Farm'.
