SHOW NOTES

KEY IDEAS: 

When an event like a worldwide pandemic comes along it is a strong reminder of how having multiple streams of revenue set up in your life is important to keep you afloat.  This is no different in our farming businesses.  Farmers have a few options, including entrepreneurship that I teach on this show, as other sources of income.  But when it comes to the crops they put into the field, can they actually come up with other options?

On today’s episode I am going to be speaking with Brad Valentine, the feedstock manager for Genera.  Genera is a new company that is going to be using farmer produced biomass to make compostable plates, bowls and other items that serve different sectors of our economy.  They are starting in Tennessee with plans to expand out to the rest of the United States.

In the interview Brad will explain how growing biomass for Genera can actually be another stream of revenue for a farmer that does not require they abandon their normal farming practices.  Growing this biomass is a supplement to what they are already doing.  These crops can be grown on more marginal ground, as a cover crop or as a grazing option.  There are multiple ways to do this and have a guaranteed revenue source that could help you get through tougher times.

Anything that can help you do that and sustain your farm business is what we want to feature on this show!
