Get ready—this month’s episode of The Block Party is officially LIVE, and you won’t want to miss it! Tune in now and catch up on this episode and all past episodes at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2134475.
We’re diving back in with some of our incredible Young Farmer leaders as they explore a powerful and timely topic: “Increased public concern over healthy diets and chronic childhood disease has raised questions, as well as criticism, about modern agriculture and the food system. How can Farm Bureau effectively engage in this discussion and advocate for the critical science-based tools and research farmers need to fulfill their commitment to grow healthy, sustainable food, fiber and fuel?” Join Sarah Zastrow and Sam Schade of the State Young Farmer Committee as they share their perspectives working in the industry, and as young moms.
