"Commodity Cowboy" to True Dirt Farmer


Will Harris, owner of White Oak Pastures near Bluffton, Clay County, Georgia, tells of his evolution from industrial farmer to regenerative feeder and keeper of the soil.

Mr. Harris may be the smartest, most courageous, and most civic-minded real world environmentalist ever hatched.

He did not come from a place of theory and backyard gardening, but from generations of conservative cattle management. He went from profit to debt, diversified his production, made hundreds of jobs, and strengthened his soil.  And by doing that, he has made more than a profit; he has helped his community and guaranteed his place in American agriculture going forward.  Full applause!

This is a terrific video; thanks to Johanna Greenberg for sending it to me as it well and truly made my day.
