| Fighting to keep the family farm - a conversation with Cynthia Ryan | 23 Sep 2021 | 00:57:36 | |
The common media representation of agriculture is one sentimentality — of bucolic green fields with grazing livestock or amber grain fields being harvested with synchronous combines. In our conversation with Cynthia Ryan we dig deeper. She is a woman who wears many hats; farmer, university professor, caregiver, wife, writer, mother, daughter. Cynthia eschews the sentimentality and strips the varnish off and gives us a true look into the battle to save the family farm.SHOW NOTES:www.femalefarmerproject.org/the-podcast/2021/9/21/fighting-to-keep-the-family-farm-a-conversation-with-cynthia-ryanLETS CONNECT:www.twitter.com/femalefarmerswww.instagram.com/rootedinthevalley/www.facebook.com/FemaleFarmerProject/www.femalefarmerproject.org | |||
