A conversation with Tim Gibbons

Missouri Rural Crisis Center was started in the 1980s when farmers were losing their lands due to government programs that left them in the lurch. Today MRCC continues to work against industrial takeovers that started in animal agriculture with giant facilities that raise thousands of animals in overcrowded buildings, polluting creeks, air and rivers for miles around. Tim Gibbons discusses these issues plus the takeover of Missouri farmland by foreign corporations.

Farm and Fiddle is the world's oldest radio program covering sustainable agriculture and local food systems. We air every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8 p.m. central time, from KOPN 89.5 fm, Columbia, Missouri. We speak to the best experts in regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, animal husbandry, and cover topics like how to resist factory farms in the neighborhood and what to do if your crop is knocked out by too much or too little rain, or by a neighbor's sloppy poison application.
