WASHINGTON — SARE recently partnered with PBS KVIE to produce an episode of RFD-TV’s America’s Heartland that features four farmers describing their commitment to sustainability, how they plan to meet farming challenges of today and tomorrow, and how SARE has impacted their farming and ranching practices.
The full 24-minute video is now available, as is each segment featuring the four different farming/ranching operations in standalone videos on SARE’s YouTube channel.
Featured farmers include:
- Bryce Wrigley of Delta Junction, Alaska, discussing how soil health, cover crops and barley flour play an important role in improving food security in Alaska. (Wrigley segment)
- Pennsylvania’s Hannah Smith-Brubaker and Debra Brubaker sharing how diversification and new marketing opportunities have benefited their farm. (Brubaker segment)
- Dr. Reagan Noland and rancher Chad Raines exploring whether running sheep in organic cotton can help manage weeds and reduce tillage in west Texas. (Raines segment)
- Siblings Erin and Drew Gaugler explaining how bale grazing, multi-species grazing and keyline cultivation improve soil health and range quality on their 4,000 acre ranch in South Dakota. (Gaugler segment)
Videos featuring each farm’s individual segment are also available for sharing.
