EP 156 - Using an Old Hog Confinement Area to Build His Pasture Operation

About this episode

Jason Storey discusses how he transformed an old hog confinement area into a pasture operation.

In this episode, I talk with Jason Storey of Storey Family Farms. Jason and his family were able to buy a 25 acre farm in South Central Iowa that they had been renting a portion of for over 3 years. This old farm had the remnants of a confinement operation including a 1/4 acre concrete pad. Jason uses that pad as the hub on his wagon wheel pasture setup for his breed stock. You can find them on here on facebook. Also, join us for discussion of all things pastured pig on our new facebook group, The Pastured Pig. https://www.facebook.com/groups/thepasturedpig Please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thepasturedpig If you would like to know more about us here at Red Tool House Farm or would like to suggest topics for future episodes, visit us at: https://thepasturedpig.com/podcast/
