Full

Zack Smith joins ATR to discuss the USDA Crop Report, the Harris campaign’s proposal to put price controls on food, the signals that farmer suicides are increasing and to talk about the price of land if you were to be buying it with Bitcoin.Zack Smith is the founder of the Stock Cropper livestock system which is strip intercropping that consisted of alternating strips of corn and annual pasture. The pasture strips were to be grazed by multiple species of livestock and be contained away from the neighboring strips of corn. To do this, they conjured up the world’s first multi-species mobile grazing barn that would house and support sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. They called their mobile barn system the “ClusterCluck 5000” and the farming system “Stock Cropping”.
