The Internet is overflowing with advice on how to farm. But sometimes knowing what NOT to do is even more valuable than hearing what worked for someone else one time.
Our most recent podcast episode is produced in collaboration with another great podcast, The Climate Conversation, which is produced by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI). A few weeks ago, hosts Dan Bresette and Emma Johnson interviewed Keefe Keeley, our Executive Director, and Tucker Gretebeck, an organic dairy farmer who is working with our agroforestry adoption team. They kindly agreed to share the recording with us, which you can now hear on the Perennial AF podcast.
The Savanna Institute and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced today plans to develop a statewide agroforestry demonstration farm network in Wisconsin where farmers can see examples of how to integrate trees successfully on farms for conservation and for profit.
The latest episode of our podcast features more farmers from our Partnering for Agroforestry video series! This is a project we’ve been working on for the last year or so, looking for examples of creative partnerships that people have come up with to help make their agroforestry dreams a reality.
In this episode of Perennial AF, hear my conversation with Greg Galbraith, a Wisconsin dairy farmer. Greg began dairy farming after college, and switched from conventional to grass-fed, as he put it, “to survive”. After some initial resistance to going organic, he also converted his farm to an organic dairy and although Greg retired a few years ago, a new generation of organic dairy farmers is keeping the farm in operation.
