Sustaining The Herd
Sustaining the Herd is a resource for all things related to sustainability in animal agriculture. We hope to deliver value to listeners by interviewing industry leaders as well as producers involved in sustainability projects. Every two weeks, we'll give a practical perspective on new technologies as well as new rules and regulations affecting the adoption of sustainability-related technologies such as anaerobic digestion and the production of renewable energy.

How Consumer Tastes are Driving Pesticide Usage, GMOs, and the Future of U.S. Fruit Production
What is pomology...or a pomologist? Join us for yet another "first" on Sustaining The Herd to find out. Andrew and Brock sit down in the studio with Win Cowgill, Professor Emeritus from Rutgers University, to discuss the science of growing fruit and developing new fruit varieties. Win has spent his career in the North East U.S. and beyond, working with fruit growers to sustainably produce fruit for hungry consumers. They discuss the intricacies of fruit cultivation and challenges faced by producers when it comes to labor, pest prevention, and changing consumer preferences. Tune in for the full episode!
