This is how I want the conversation about agriculture to start. Agriculture isn’t a “problem” that we need to “fix.” We grow more food with fewer resources than ever before. It isn’t perfect, but we’re a leader in sustainability, not a failure.

I'm still enjoying my trip to Europe (more on that later), but back home on the farm #Harvest2024 has officially started! I can't wait to get back and join my brother in the cab (we'll, actually, I can, but you know 😂).
The UN prepares to hold a major meeting later this month about antimicrobial resistance. Normally I would be worried by what would come out of this meeting, but it looks like farmers are already on track to tackle this growing crisis. As I like to say, farmers are leaders in sustainability!

My, non scientific, definition of sustainable is “any farm land that has been in production for several generations and is still producing as much or more than it has in the past is sustainable.”
I like that a lot! It satisfies the economic progress of sustainability without complicating it with market forces and political positions that we have so little control over.
