The Foothill Agrarian and His Flying Mule


Listen Later

As we prepare to convene in Arizona, it's only fitting to visit a shepherd, ecologist, and the President of the California Wool Growers' Association, Mr. Dan Macon. You can follow Dan's daily sheepherder updates on Instagram: @flyingmule. Cheviot, Shropshire, and BFL contribute to his three-tier system, so you can guess what we'll be learning about when I get back!

There was a bit of a glitch when Dan talked about carbon sequestration. For more on the subject, visit:

Also, editing a podcast in time to make a flight is super tough y'all! My apologies to my Patroni, who I forgot to mention on air! Their names in no specific order are Kris, Koty, Laurie, Matthew, and Melissa, and I love them. And I love you. Thanks for listening!
