If you started a goat grazing company with your romantic partner, would it help or hurt your relationship? Where would you go for information if you were just getting started? How would you ensure that you didn’t overextend yourselves by getting too big too soon?
Justin Simarro and Amanda Budde, with The Goat Grazing Company in California, join Max Wade to talk about how starting a goat-grazing business has challenged their relationship in many good ways and taught them how they operate far better as a team than they do on their own. They also shared how The Goat Grazing Podcast has been a big help in their goat-grazing journey, informing their decision to grow only as fast as they could manage and following the podcast's advice to “fail small”.

What would you do if your farm was losing money year after year? Would you have the courage to bet your entire farm as collateral as you put well over a million dollars into building a solar farm? How would you utilize that solar farm to teach the public about the potential of agrivoltaics?
Byron Kominek, of the Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center and Jack's Solar Garden, joined Max Wade on The Goat Grazing Podcast, where he explained how he saved his family farm by using it as collateral to finance a solar array that now supplies power to more than 300 homes. With vegetation planted beneath the panels, the site has since become an agrivoltaic learning center open to the public.
