Hey folks, this is Andy with the Poor Proles Almanac. This is part two of our conversation

with Shauna Hansen over at Three Streams Farm.

If you haven't listened to Part 1, go to the previous episode and listen to how this conversation

begins. For the rest of you, enjoy the rest of this conversation.

where you had tested all the different, I think it was primarily the silage that you had made.

By the way, only the reports are dated 2020.

Okay.

The action actually happened in 2018. It just takes that long for me to

well, it took an extra year to finish the demo plot because there were trees that Josh and I didn't

get to and then I didn't have any more money to pay any interns. So it was just me. And then I had to write

the reports. Yeah, it's a slow work.

The Sear one is 44 pages long with the table of contents.

So that's probably the longest thing I've ever written.

Yeah, it was really interesting to see all the different tree types and how diverse the nutrient content can be across species,

even though they share the same ecology.

if you cut oak off of a polluted tree here at my place and you cut some in the woods, it might be

completely different. And it's, I know in general, you know, if it's juicy, luscious, what I call

happy grows, the goats want it.
