The Omnivore's Dilemma: Who is Joel Salatin?

I was reading some of Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma  and I came across an interesting person, Joel Salatin. Self described as a "christian libertarian environmentalist" Salatin runs one of the most innovative farms in the country, Polyface farm. When asked what he raises Salatin insists that he is a grass farmer, because he believes that this is the most important asset on his farm.It feeds all the animals, who return the favor by fertilizing it with their manure. You can see an interview with Joel Salatin here.
