Streak of Lean

We go way off script to talk about chickens, outdoor chickens, indoor chickens, chicken manure, chicken death, the ugly acts of livestock farming, and the persistent gloom and self-doubt of running a small business during the holidays.... Because mama always said the best way to treat your listeners right is to be as morbid and gross as possible. But, hey, in a world of deceptive social media profiles and marketing shell games, at least SoL gets down and dirty. Thanks for listening! Please smash that five-star rating.

The Streak of Lean boys are finally back at it to discuss Hurricane Michael's impact on agriculture in Southwest Georgia, the national media coverage of the storm, the Farm Bill, Donn's grant work, developments on Brandon's coastal farm, organics, and our favorite theme — bridging the urban/rural divide. Because, y'all, we love everybody.

Publishing this episode was delayed by technical issues and user error, and some audio has been removed to protect the innocent. So, don't mind the gaps, and discussions about recent political events are still relevant, if not timely. Also, we're going to leave you wanting more....

Streak of Lean is still accepting sponsorships from online mattress companies for a limited time. Act now. Opportunities are going fast.

We talk about the work being done to grow organic peanuts in Georgia and some of the exciting achievements in 2018. The conversation meanders through South Georgia ice machines, California, and David Allen Coe. Plus, the weather!

We'll have show notes and links once the website (www.streakofleanpod.com) is up.

We finally record the first podcast after years of talking about talking. We introduce ourselves, outline our hopes for the show, and discuss Hurricane Florence, vittles, Trapper Jim, the Ag Census, slavery, racism in America, chicken farming, etc. Brandon provides free truck sounds. Donn has trouble with multiplication. All in all, not bad for a first go.
