Type: Column/Article
Date: February 26, 2020
Farmers are the original environmentalists. For generations, they’ve tended the land, kept track of its health and put their hearts, backs and livelihoods into keeping it productive.

They’re joined as well by NCGA VP of Production and Sustainability Nathan Fields.
