David Montgomery is a professor at the University of Washington who specializes in soil health and regenerative farming. His most recent book, co-authored with his wife Anne Biklé, is "What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health." We discuss its premise along with farmer protests in the Netherlands and around the world, prompted by "green agenda" government regulations. Can we farm in a way that's better for our health and the health of the environment - while avoiding global unrest?
This was so fun to watch. We had lots of rain overnight and the rodeo arena was soaked today. Most of the kids loved it, though a few weren’t a huge fan of being covered in mud. Thankfully there are many hoses at the rodeo grounds!
I used to be one of those people who thought goats will eat anything. But actually, it’s chickens who are the true garbage disposals. Now, when we cook something, I am regularly researching if chickens can eat the waste that we would normally throw away. In this case, we were peeling shrimp, and the light bulb went off. Maybe they would eat the shells? Turns out, not only will they eat the shells, but the shrimp shells are quite good for chickens! In fact, they are full of calcium to help the chickens lay eggs with hard shells.
