  • e144. Revving Up Agritourism: Merging Land, Life, and Leisure with Taylor Moyer
    2024/11/20

    Join us on an exciting journey as we welcome back Taylor Moyer, who has transitioned from a successful NASCAR career to full-time farming. Over the past 18 months, Taylor has embraced the challenges and rewards of regenerative farming, leaving the racetrack after the last race in Phoenix to pursue his passion for agriculture. Taylor shares insights into the complexities of understanding cattle carrying capacity, the unique advantages and challenges of farming in the Southeast, and the high land prices near population centers. With a focus on the ongoing learning process, Taylor offers a glimpse into balancing new ventures while navigating the practicalities and aspirations of regenerative agriculture.

    In our conversation, Taylor discusses his innovative approach to strategic cattle management, exploring how doing things differently from neighboring farms has led to both growth opportunities and challenges. With a focus on spring calving herds in a region dominated by fall breeders, Taylor emphasizes the importance of strategic breeding decisions and optimizing breeding windows while balancing economic considerations. He highlights the transformation of undervalued cows into valuable assets and the role of a dedicated business team and external advisors in ensuring sustainable growth and profitability.

    We also explore the benefits of the Land Trust initiative, which offers farm owners a valuable tool for facilitating outdoor recreation and connecting people to the land. Taylor shares his experiences using the Land Trust platform, which allows landowners to list their land for activities like hunting, fishing, and photography. With a flexible business model, landowners can set their own prices and benefit from an 80/20 revenue share. The platform ensures security with a robust verification process and complimentary insurance for landowners. Taylor reflects on the joy and satisfaction landowners experience by sharing their land with interested visitors, creating fulfilling connections and fostering appreciation for agricultural life.
