Altering the Conception of the Small Farm's Place in the Grain Chain

I'm circling back to Sarah Mock since she popped up in my Twitter feed via the The Female Farmer Project and their latest podcast. I don't often make the time to take in podcasts, but I did for this one. I've been thinking a lot about the place for small farms in a revived Grain Chain and I couldn't get too far without running into the reality of the economics for local and regionally focused farmers. Definitely a problem in the numbers from a high level. Lots of good stuff in this podcast across a wide swath of topics. I haven't read Sarah's book yet, but it is on the list.
Our latest episode with @sarah_k_mock and her new book #farmandotherfwords - an agriculture insider’s critique of the romantic agrarian ideal of the small family farm. She lays bare the shortcomings of that narrative — not all is as virtuous as it seems. https://t.co/iLbPv2s44E pic.twitter.com/pL9lLiilgX
