sustainable agriculture

Unless you were somehow connected to the urban farming movement, you had probably never heard the word “permaculture,” until very recently. Is it a long-lasting social trend? A medical technique that reverses baldness? Sorry, no.

I hope you don't mind me sharing a bit more of our agricultural course work with you. The best part was always field trips anyway and as an adult I love meeting new and interesting people.

Growing up on the farm, I quickly learned that the dirt encrusting winter snow banks came from our fields. It didn’t particularly bother me only because I didn’t understand that topsoil was our livelihood. That changed as I aged. Consequently, when my parents began altering their tillage practices and more soil stayed in the field, I understood their decision.
