What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Mike’s style of interview and his established relationships with many of the interviewees leads to both revealing personal and “pasture” insights combined with excellent “profit nuggets”. This has gotten me more “pumped up” about pasture. Would be delighted if there were more “Pasture Pods”. Btw - “Moe” needs more air-time:)

PJ Murphy IRL/NJ · Mar 2021

Great pod, learn a little from each episode. I enjoy the variety in farming operations from beef, dairy, sheep etc... as a dairy farmer I particularly like the dairy episodes.

Wisconsin pork · Mar 2019

I love your podcast! I am a pretty new at livestock farming still but I have learned so much from the interviews with people working at the cutting edge of modern rotational grazing. My wife and I just were able to purchase an 80 acre farm in Oregon USA and are working toward a 100% grass fed operation. I can't wait to try everything I have learned from listening. Thank you, Tyler Ross Rossallini Farm
