## Resource

"Every bed here should generate $1,000 of value." That's Ben Hartman, standing on 15,000 square feet...a third of an acre. Twenty years ago, he started on a 1,000-acre corn and soybean operation, then market gardened on two acres. Today, he farms less land than he ever has, and his profit margin is the highest it's ever been. Learn more about farmer Ben Hartman and Clay Bottom Farm here. Watch the episode here!
