This week on the FarmHouse, a podcast by Lancaster Farming, we're honoring the voices of farmers as we celebrate our 70th anniversary.
This special podcast episode will feature a variety of voices from farmers and ag industry members who stopped by our pop-up recording studio at this year's Ag Progress Days.
You'll hear voices of all ages — from a recent college graduate working her first job in the ag industry to a 92-year-old retired farmer who recalls exactly how his farm community came to his aid when he lost a leg in a farm accident.
You'll even hear from Pennsylvania Ag Secretary Russell Redding about how farming has changed over the last seven decades and where the industry is headed.
The audio essay was inspired by a Wendell Berry quote.
He says, "Why do farmers farm, given their economic adversities on top of the many frustrations and difficulties normal to farming? And always the answer is: 'Love. They must do it for love.'"
For 70 years, Lancaster Farming has worked to tell farmers' stories. In our special anniversary podcast, you can hear some of those stories from the farmers themselves.
