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.
