Jim Whitaker and his family are model stewards, and operate by the belief that "What's good for the land is good for the farmer." Their approach to stewardship has paid off in reduced water, fertilizer, and chemical use, increased productivity from their ground and their equipment, and improved wildife habitat. Join us as we chat with Jim about the his stewardship efforts, and learn more about what it takes to produce one of the world's most prolific crops.
