Trout Tales, Feb. 8
Found myself last week at the annual Barry County Soils and Crops Conference. I’ve never seen so much Carhartt in one room! There were all kinds of presentations, and lots of interestingliterature. The first presentation was on multi-species grazing. These farmers love their cattle and sheep and pigs and goats, but what about trout?
