    Climate friendly isn't always cost effective: Removing risk for farmers to be part of the climate change solution.

    Climate friendly isn't always cost effective: Removing risk for farmers to be part of the climate change solution.

    Sustainable farming practices are essential for modern farmers to adopt on their land. However, changing an on-farm practice can cost a family farm a fortune or, put their crops and profits at risk. Doing the right thing for the environment also means not doing the wrong thing to ensure their family farm survives. 
    In this episode, Brett Bruggeman, President of Winfield United joins us to talk about how Land O’Lakes is creating markets for farmers to invest in sustainable farming practices consumers care about. All while ensuring the economics make sense.
