““Instead of, ‘How can I do this on the cheap, how can I get by’ – everything became, ‘How can I make this so it’s going to last the rest of my life? How can I do this so that my grandkids will enjoy it?’”

Jake uses a perennial system (cultivating crops that don’t need to be replanted each year) and rotational grazing. He started breeding cows and pigs and a variety of crops, put in trout ponds, and implemented intensive water management. Everything on the farm is geared toward being productive and profitable.
