In the 7th episode in the Weather Ready Farms series Graham Christensen, corn and soybean farmer from near Oakland, NE and owner of GC-ReVOLT, joins to talk about his family's long history of farming in Burt County, his story of how his family started transitioning to regenerative agricultural practices, planting cover crops with drones, soil health benefit of keeping roots in the ground year round, using technology and ecosystems to enhance their operation, the challenges farmers face in transitioning to more regenerative practices, how university extension and educational curriculum could help shape an agricultural future that works with natural ecosystems to enhance productivity, and how they have remained profitable while shrinking the number of acres farmed.
In the sixth episode of the Weather Ready Farms podcast Bridgette Mason, an Illinois native and now the Assistant State Climatologist for Wisconsin, joins to talk about how her fear of severe thunderstorms as a little kid (including saying storms brought potatoes!) led to her wanting to study atmospheric sciences as an adult. Then we delve into her favorite tools for helping the agricultural sector use weather and climate information to make informed decisions for their operation.
