A year ago, we started The Peter Byck Show with Roots So Deep scientist, educator, and force of nature Dr. Allen Williams. In his first episode, Dr. Williams discussed the limitations of current agricultural research, the incredible impact working with nature can have, and what growing food on healthy soils means for our quality of life.

In this week's episode, we continue the conversation by asking: How do we take things to the next level? 

During the conversation, Dr. Williams discusses the potential power of the Farm Bill, how crop insurance holds farmers back, the need for serious education, how working with nature supports national security, and the impact of mono-crops on a farmer's bottomline.

We hope you enjoy this episode! Next month we go international!
