Show Notes
In this episode of the On-Farm Trials podcast, we hear from special guest Eero Kovero of Pekola, Finland- alongside his host and compatriot in direct seeding practices, Mark Sheffels, from his farm in Wilbur, WA. Eero shares his experience connecting with PNW direct seed farmers Mark Sheffels and Russ Zenner for the past 25 years. In this episode we hear about Eero’s experience on his farm in Finland, his conversion to direct seeding practices after his first adventures in the PNW, and his diversified enterprise. The conversation explores the relationship that has developed over the past 25 years between farmers, the respective challenges of farming regardless of location, the power of connecting farmers across the world, and how Eero has played a key role in direct seed adoption in Finland by being a conduit for the lessons-learned in the PNW.
