The title doesn't even cover it all! We talk about a bunch in this episode on Brady Wulfs ranch near Starbuck, MN. We cover the airbnb he has on the ranch, hunting leases and ranch tours. We discuss his no-till wide row corn system and how he grows cover crops in the corn and grazes cows on it in the fall. And we discuss how they have gotten access to public lands and worked to improve them with grazing!

Brandon shares his start and how he transitioned to owning cows by replacing the lease cows with his share of the heifer crop. He talks about his grazing management, cheap winter feeding program, starting a side business and so much more!
