  • Steve Tucker, Sourcing from the Seed

    Twenty years ago, Steve Tucker inherited his grandfather's farm in Western Nebraska. Since then, he was worked endlessly to learn and improve how he farms. Today, we're at that very farm talking to Steve about how we're working together to plant 85 acres of sorghum, aka milo, using regenerative ag practices. Steve and I have a lot in common, we're each hopelessly optimistic or some might say, just a little crazy. We both have a passion for dramatic film scores and we love Interstellar, particularly the corn chase scene. Want to know if our sorghum trial works, so do we, stay tuned.

    Dave and I have known eachother for 9 years, he supplies the organic corn in our popcorn, and honestly Quinn might not exist without his belief in our vision. He is a legend, and the kindest human being that I know.  I hope you enjoy our conversation.
