The most surprising industry that has adopted hydroponic fodder is the exotic. An exotic animal is loosely defined as any animal that is not a companion or used for livestock. Hydroponic fodder offers advantages for Alpaca, Elk, Deer, Buffalo, Rabbits, Tilapia, and many zoo animals.

December 28, 2022 Episode 7 - The Birds
Today I talk about birds that eat hydroponic fodder. These would be our winged friends like chickens, ducks, turkeys, and other game birds. It seems if it flies, it loves hydroponic fodder. Though birds prefer certain crops, poultry performs well when eating fresh, green hydroponic fodder.

December 27, 2022 Episode 6 - ABCD'S of Hydroponic Fodder
Today's episode is about the ABCD'S of Hydroponic Fodder. This is a term I coined that nods to the Merchants of Grain and our kindergarten caroling.
Many field crops or weeds that farmers use to feed livestock are candidates for hydroponic fodder. But some crops do better than others. Seed selection is important to produce the highest quality fodder and manage your farm.
This episode introduces the seven crops that will be a major part of this show - alfalfa, barley, corn, cowpea, clover, duckweed, and sunflower.
These seven major crops are used in field cultivation and are commonly used for animal feedstuffs. Based on the published data, we will discuss the availability, yield, water use efficiency, and nutritional value of hydroponic fodder versus field forage. So, what should you grow for your animals?
Well, you grow what you already know and buy for your animals. That could be the forage seed you plant and pasture. Or it could be the hayseed or grain you harvest. Seed selection will largely depend on the animals you raise.
Check out more in our following episodes but if you can't wait, get a copy of the book and jump into chapter 4!

December 26, 2022 Episode 5 - Thinking About Agriculture Differently
Happy Monday from the farm!
Today is December 26th, 2022. And I hope you all had a wonderful holiday yesterday.
Welcome to Thinking Outside The Soil. Where we talk about the farmers and ranchers that use hydroponic practices to grow the crops and creatures we need to eat.
I am your Host, Sean Short, and thank you for being with me on this beautiful morning!
Today touches on thinking about agriculture differently.
Agriculture is the cultivation and production of food, fuel, fiber, and other goods through land, labor, and capital. It is an important sector of the economy that provides the world with the necessary resources to sustain human life.
When thinking differently, it is not necessarily a matter of replacing the 12,000-year-old model of agriculture, as this model has evolved and adapted over time to meet the needs of different societies and cultures. We can work towards a more sustainable and equitable food system by considering different approaches to agriculture.
