I wish the story had told more about HOW the worms are raised. I saw one photo of trays of harvested worms, but no growing beds. We know that he feeds corn, but nothing else. Oh well, still an interesting story.

I note from the article that fishing is on the wane, due to economy and young people not into the sport. With that as a factor, plus his two sons may want to join their father in his business, I wonder how soon before Durant turns his energetic methods to the vermicompost market … which has a few biggies, but is still somewhat fragmented/fringe/expensive. [‘green’ eco-movement, notwithstanding]

Incredible story! I applaud Mr. Durant’s tenacity, vision, and creativity. I was particularly impressed with his plywood desk. My kinda guy! I wish him HUGE success.
It would be lovely if the goobers in Washington could follow his lead.
