1. What is your estimate of total yield per acre at the 5 year, 10 year and 20 year mark of your system?



3. What was the biggest mistake you made early on?

4. Aside from the kids, what are you most proud of?

5. You talk about STUN. How much time do you spend actually doing "work" on your farm?

6. What is it like when you have a conversation with the farmer that grows Soy and Corn?

7. What three insights would you want to impart on someone that wants to follow in your footsteps?
