Show Notes

Conservation is often the "elephant in the room" that doesn't get talked about very much. Conservation agronomist Ruth McCabe shares her insights about the state of agriculture around the globe.   Ruth studied farming systems in Australia, Canada, the Chesapeake Bay, Brazil and other locations as part of an international Nuffield Scholarship. She works with Heartland Cooperative in Iowa.    Contrasting her observations about farmers' needs for short-term gains vs. long- term conservation efforts makes a lively and informative discussion.
