  • Such a great way to stay up to date on research!

    I don’t have time (or the attention span) to read new publications on sustainable agriculture but I do listen to podcasts while I do chores and this is a great way to continue to learn and improve my own farm. Thank you for doing the important work of interpreting the science for practical on farm use.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Successful Women in Agriculture - Marguerite Green
Q: What has changed in the conversation about young people farming, and where do resources fit in now?
She notes a shift from worrying about lack of interest to focusing on providing resources and accessibility so more people can participate in agriculture, highlighting the growth of local nonprofits and extension services that support farmers at all scales.
Successful Women in Agriculture - Marguerite Green
Q: Who is Marguerite Green and how did you begin your journey in agriculture and advocacy?
Marguerite describes growing up in New Orleans with limited early exposure to farming, the Katrina-era experiences that awakened her understanding of food access, and how she found purpose through organic gardening, college programs, and community gardens leading to a career in farming, education, and policy.
Planning for Farmland Succession
Q: What signals tell you that a land trust might be the right option for a landowner thinking about succession planning?
Signals include having a clear, shared sense of what the land is for across generations, financial readiness, and willingness to commit to a long-term structure that supports heirs; conversely, if a family is cash-poor or their priority is flexible ownership, a land trust may not be the first tool.
Planning for Farmland Succession
Q: Can you share a story of a farm or family whose future changed because of a land trust?
Both guests share personal family histories illustrating how land trusts can stabilize ownership, reduce probate risk, and embed family values into legal structures, with examples of revocable or irrevocable trusts and the role of conservation easements in keeping land in agriculture across generations.
Episode 389. Successful Women in Agriculture - Gwen Cannon
Q: Are there opportunities to involve the church or broader community in preserving and teaching lost arts like canning?
Yes, Gwen mentions 'Jesus in Jam' and planned church-related jam sessions to teach jelly and jam making, inviting church ladies and community members to learn together.
