From Tuscaloosa Alabama, two of Jason's friends and fellow Wildlife Biologists join in to talk about food plotting in better soils. The guys talk about the very old technique of no-till farming, cover cropping and the popular book published in 1992, Farming in Nature's Image; AKA "Eco-Farming", The guys go back 300 years when Bison herds roamed the plains and the organic soil health was optimal for our immigrant ancestors. Over the years, those soils have been depleted with conventional European farming practices leading to the cry for a "new" approach to food plotting. Better soils = better nutrition = bigger bucks!
