Cal Hardage Has Lots of Irons in the Fire

Cal Hardage Has Lots of Irons in the Fire

My hope is that these journeys we share cause the person to take that next step. Whether that next step is buying a roll of poly braid and moving your cows twice if that's oh I need to try and do this for grass fed and go direct to consumer. Wherever you are, I'm hoping the journey helps you take that next step. And for that to happen, I can hear the same thing hundreds of times. But for some reason, that hundredth and first time, it's like,  why didn't I think of that?


Cal’s passion for agriculture was ignited at a young age, growing up on his parents' farm where he has fond memories of being surrounded by livestock. Since then, Cal's journey has been deeply rooted in agriculture, from obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science to managing his own livestock.

 

Driven by his curiosity and commitment to regenerative farming practices, Cal started the Grazing Grass podcast as a way to connect with other like-minded grass farmers and learn from their experiences. His genuine interest in the subject matter and his firsthand knowledge of farming practices make him an engaging and knowledgeable host.

 With a wealth of personal experience and a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards of grass farming, Cal brings a unique perspective to the Grazing Grass podcast. His passion for sustainable farming practices shines through in every episode as he facilitates conversations, asks insightful questions, and encourages meaningful discussionswith fellow grass farmers.
