Or, "The Hog Man of Brandon."

Patrick Toomey is the Sustainable Farming Association's new Grazing Education Lead. In this episode we get to know Patrick through the story of his career, which brought him to natural gas fields in Wyoming, the InterTribal Buffalo Council, Holisitic Management, private consulting, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).

In this conversation with Jonathan Kilpatrick, you'll get a sense for Patrick's approach to farmer-to-farmer consulting and hear a couple of things to keep in mind for spring grazing.
