I have always been interested in this process and the methods. I just have never had enough land to do it. Maybe one day I will even though it would be a lot of hard work it would be really nice to produce most of what you use, especially with all of these food recalls. If the food is bad it's because you screwed up. Not some criminal illegal a few hundred/thousand miles away in a processing plant.

As Payne opens the gate, about a thousand sheep round the corner and bound into fresh grass. The pasture the flock grazes was once corn and soybeans, along with the rest of the Payne family farm. Josh’s grandfather Charles Payne cultivated nearly a thousand acres of row crops for decades. But as Josh Payne took over managing the property about 15 years ago, that wasn’t going to work anymore.
