Working full-time outside of agriculture while also advocating for the industry can sometimes feel a bit disjointed. On the one hand, I’m trying to tell everyone our farms are sustainable, innovative, and modern. But the rest of the world seems deadset on believing that agriculture is the root cause of every environmental crisis. I’m sure I’m not alone in experiencing this disconnect.
Quite frankly, I can’t think of another industry that’s made such dramatic progress on sustainability over the last century (just look at dairy producers and cotton farming as two quick examples). Yet no matter how much we improve, it’s never enough.
