What happens when an experienced cattleman teams up with a retired Special Forces warrant officer who still has a lot to learn about ranching?
In the first full episode of MOR Than Farming, Joe and Chris introduce the people, personalities and purpose behind Meadow Oaks Ranch in Cameron, North Carolina. They talk about leadership, military life, fatherhood, working cattle, learning from mistakes and what it really takes to keep a family farm moving forward.
This is not a polished studio conversation about farming in theory. It is an honest, uncensored discussion from people living it - including the lessons, frustration, humor and occasional bull that come with the job.
Whether you are an experienced farmer, a beginning rancher, a veteran searching for your next mission or someone who simply wants to know where local food comes from, pull up a chair.
Because at Meadow Oaks Ranch, it is always MOR Than Farming.
