This week, I share some steps we are taking with our flock of laying hens to boost their immunity. Avian Flu is spreading across the country. Our choice is to be proactive in our steps to prepare our hens' natural immunity for anything that comes their way.
We believe that modern advances in technology have a rightful place within agriculture. Starvation on a planet with eight billion people is not from a lack of production. This fact is a direct result of technological advances in food production in the past eight decades....
When relationship, ecological and financial interests align, you know you're onto something great. I want to take a moment to walk you through the evolution of the deepening partnership between the Schnabel and Keim families.

I've never been the best at anything, except one thing --- I am the best at finding and hiring the best. This is the story behind why you never see cattle when you visit the farm in Canton.
This one is too good not to share. Erin HATES doing social media video posts. On Monday, I was dropping off cattle and hogs at the butcher. I called Erin to remind her that we were doing a special this week on some of the new steaks....
We winter our mamma pigs in an area of very deep wood chips. At the time of this video, they are transitioning into the southern woodlands where they will have their babies in the summer and fall.
My experience raising buffalo formed the foundation of my ideas on livestock management. At the time, I was young, highly impressionable and very ambitious. By the time I was 23, I was the chairman of one of the largest buffalo auctions east of the Mississippi. I was doing business all over the country and was exposed to many....
