Loved this! And as a horticulturist, I appreciate your husband’s unapologetic commitment and trust in the wealth of science behind crop production! The internet is a wild place…so much misinformation. Thankful for your family and all farmers! Looking forward to part 2

Thank you for sharing all of this! I grew up in Iowa and a good part of my family is employed by "conventional farming." My husband runs a very small scale organic vegetable and meat chicken farm. I cannot agree enough that we probably need both, and many of us are blessed with the choice of how we source our food and can do both! Thank you for humanizing large scale farming and just sharing the realities of what is needed to feed people.

Hi Megan! Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I agree; it's great we have so many different options. I am a terrible gardener, so I'm grateful I don't have to raise my own produce. My family would all have scurvy. Haha.

Great answers! I went to a farm seminar last summer and learned about the ‘see and spray’ sprayer, incredible technology!!

Thanks, Christina! It is really cool. It not only saves on chemicals but water usage, too!
