In this episode of Crop Cast, we’re joined by none other than Jason Mauck, the innovative and unconventional farmer from Gaston, Indiana—known across social media as "the farm weird guy." Jason has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of traditional agriculture with techniques like relay cropping wheat and soybeans, and experimenting with alley cropping in corn.

Sean Nettleton dives into Jason’s philosophy, where farming isn't just about high yields. Jason shares insights into his work with the Stock Cropper system, his unique grazing strategies, and how he manages what he proudly calls “the greenest golf course in Indiana.”

Whether you're curious about alternative cropping systems or just want to hear from someone shaking up the ag world, this episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas and practical takeaways. Tune in to learn why farming weird might just be the future.
