Episode 152. Starting a Farm
Today’s episode of Voices from the Field is the first in an occasional series from Rockiell Woods, Director of NCAT’s Gulf States Regional Office in Jackson, Mississippi, and Bill Evans, Director of Horticulture at Up in Farms Food Hub in Jackson. This series is all about starting a farm.
Today’s conversation is focused on how many acres are needed and what crops to choose.
