INTRODUCING MICHAEL DOWD!
This week seems to be pig week at the Off-Farm Income Podcast. We just butchered two ourselves and took the rest to the butcher for our customers. And! I have two great guests this week who are raising pigs.
Michael Dowd is the president of his chapter at Springhill High School in Springhill, Kansas. He is in his junior year and is developing quite a swine business.
I hope you enjoy getting to know Michael Dowd!
