E12: U.S. sustainable agriculture is a family affair

Welcome to the final installment of our podcast series recorded in Louisiana. In this episode, we speak to two farming families, reflect on the highlights of our trip, and discuss regenerative agriculture, black bears, the environmental benefits of cotton tighty-whities, and more.

Join us as we visit a multi-crop farm near the Mississippi River in Morganza which has recently opened its doors to tourists. Matt and Marty Frey and their families grow soybeans, rice, and sugarcane, raise cattle, produce hay, and harvest crawfish. We chat with them about what it takes to run a 365-day-a-year operation. We also catch up with Marshall and Mead Hardwick, fourth-generation soybean and cotton farmers from Newellton, northeast Louisiana. We interviewed the brothers and their dad for our launch episode, so it was a pleasure to catch up with them and hear about their regenerative cotton partnership with a top fashion brand.

Tune in now for sustainability insights from two families on the frontline of Louisiana agriculture.
