In this episode, I speak with Chris Moore and Lyndsey Smith, from Shady Creek Lamb Co., who share their innovative approach to sheep farming through solar grazing. They discuss their backgrounds in agriculture, the challenges of transitioning from cattle to sheep, and the importance of water management and infrastructure in their operations. They also emphasize the significance of public relations in modern farming and how they have adapted to the protocols required when working with solar companies. The conversation also delves into the benefits of grazing under solar panels, reflections on growth, and the concept of “enough” in farming. Our discussion wraps up with their thoughts on land management and investment strategies.
