Sustainable Farming Comes To America’s Heartland

Ruth Ann Reyes

“[Our] mission is equipping farmers to build resilient farms and communities. Practical Farmers of Iowa is an inclusive organization representing a diversity of farmers. Farmers in our network raise corn and soybeans, hay, livestock large and small, horticultural crops from fruits and vegetables to cut flowers and herbs, and more. Our members have conventional and organic systems; employ diverse management practices; run operations of all sizes; and come from a range of backgrounds. These farmers come together, however, because they believe in nature as the model for agriculture and they are committed to moving their operations toward sustainability.”

@Ruth Reyes-Loiacano - Can you explain how so "conventional systems of soybeans & corn" (quoted from the above) are in any way, shape, or form "sustainable" ?
