2 Comments

 
Farmer John Peterson of Angelic Organics Farm in northern Illinois talks scale, farming time, and weed control with Chris. John is famous for his starring role in The Real Dirt on Farmer John, and this interview really reflects the unique but very practical and caring approach that John brings to his farming practice.

  • We didn’t mention this in the show, but John wrote a great essay on weed control and time that is well worth the read.

That is a very impressive operation! I really liked John's advice on using technology in a way that turns our time into value but not letting ourselves be used by technology; staying balanced, connected, aware and responsible to take care of things and make things happen.
