American Public Media To Debut New Agriculture Podcast 'Field Work'

Ag Talk

AMERICAN PUBLIC MEDIA is launching a new podcast on sustainability in agriculture as part of APM's "The Water Main" initiative.  "FIELD WORK" is hosted by YOUTUBE's "MN Millenial Farmer" ZACH JOHNSON and IOWA farmer and entrepreneur MITCHELL HORA and will debut MAY 1st with a trailer available now; it will also be available in video form on YOUTUBE.

“Farming is more of an art form than it is hard data, so reading about conservation practices is usually much easier than implementing it into your family’s farming operation. Changes to practices are typically not simple and inexpensive, so they have to work with a farm’s current situation,” said JOHNSON. “We’re looking to approach this topic of conservation with an open mind and see what new ideas are out there to help us be the best conservationists possible, while also making good management decisions for our farms.”

“There are so many variables that farmers face in the growing season, and I’m excited that the FIELD WORK podcast will provide new resources so farmers can logistically and economically improve their farms,” said HORA. “ZACH and I are looking forward to bringing in guests who can share their experience working with the land in ways that promote healthy soil and water. The best scenario is to monitor short-term gains, while working towards long-term productivity improvements and success across our farms.”
