Today on the show, we celebrate Earth Day by hosting Sarah Lloyd, director of special projects at the Wisconsin Farmers Union, in the studio for a conversation about agriculture and dairy farming in Wisconsin.
What is the future of family farming? This free-ranging conversation covers issues like agro-business, debt in farming, the role of distribution systems (including behemoths like Amazon and Whole Foods), what it’s like to be a business owner in a rural area with limited internet access, and what kinds of interventions are needed by policy-makers.
