John and I discuss talk about his life as a farmer and how he is transitioning away from a grain-based diet for his hogs toward developing perennial forages. Familiar with permaculture, he uses tiered priorities to describe his zone model of production, which influences how he interacts with the land. To establish this kind of system John also takes a long view of this work, looking out twenty years in order to reasonably move from the current model to something perennial and permanent.

That world is an abundant one for all life. What world do you want to live in? What are you doing each day to make that world a reality?
