Episode: 008. Tristan Wright – Radical changes in AZ
Description: On this windy episode of the AgEmerge Podcast, Monte Bottens & Tristan Wright talk about all of the out-of-the-box ideas that Tristan is implementing on his farm in Roll, Arizona. This is a challenging area for growers, with high heat, high ET, salty soils in the valley floor, and very porous soil in the Mesa. Tristan has decided to make some radical changes on his operation to overcome some substantial challenges. He is switching to no-till and integrating cover crops to increase the water holding capacity. He’s even considering integrating livestock to add more carbon and further restore the soil.
