36. Fish Stories with Jackson Kimle

Jackson Kimle is CEO of Midland, a business that’s developed land-based seafood technology and a business model aimed at scaling shrimp production. Using innovative Algae-Based RAS™ (recirculating aquaculture systems) technology, Midland Co. now has three contract farms raising shrimp in Iowa. Midland's farms are dedicated to quality, handling each batch from tank-to-table.Seafood played a key role in the early development of the economy of what became the United States. Cod caught off the coasts of New England and Canada were a significant export for centuries. Whaling was the deep-history source of what today we call venture capital. And American founders like George Washington harvested fish as part of their farm enterprises. I enjoyed the discussion with Jackson about Midland, shrimp, seafood, and the state of aquaculture, and know you will too.https://www.midlandseafood.com/https://www.kevinkimle.com/
