February 14-15, 2024 The Methow Conservancy is hosting a a free two-part forum on agricultural issues facing Methow Valley farmers. Our friend David Montgomery is coming back to the valley. David Montgomery is the author of the books What Your Food Ate, Growing A Revolution, The Hidden Half of Nature, Dirt, and others. Professor Montgomery will explore an inspiring vision in which agriculture becomes the solution to environmental problems.
He will be joined by Three-term U.S. Senator Jon Tester who is a third-generation Montana farmer. Senator Tester will tell the story of his family farm and the choices they have made to adapt to a changing world and economy. He will also share his insights into what he sees for the future of farming.
Amidst the Methow Valley’s changing climate and shifts in agricultural land ownership, the ongoing conversation becomes increasingly relevant. The choices made by large landowners hold substantial influence over small communities, shaping the impact of these transitions on the local landscape. If the future of agriculture is important to you in this valley we encourage you to share your voice and join the conversation.
Happy February!
