Food Post 3

As Kurt goes on to tell his story about becoming a farmer, we can see his progression as each chapter goes on. Kurt introduces new live stocks into his farm and provides us with important detail as why it is beneficial to the farm. He also explains what roles each animals have. An important quote that Kurt mentions, “It’s easy to discuss the “best” environmental practices in farming without a budget, but implementing good systems with limited funds is a challenge.” We see a few challenges that Kurt has to face with his farm and with each roadblock; Kurt has to find solutions in order to overcome them. To solve his environmental practices he uses rotational grazing, which is a system that moves the animals around so that the pasture can grow again. Kurt is always exploring new ideas and ways on how he can improve as a farmer.
Furthermore, this is an interesting book and proves to be an eye opener to try new things.
