Video: Farmers: Our Story
Farmers: Our Story from OurWaterWebs on Vimeo.
Video by Mark Kover
An alternative lens on agriculture’s need for a healthy environment.
This video is produced by students at Kent State University’s Stark campus under the direction of biology and journalism faculty. It is part of a multidisciplinary study of the local environment called OurWaterWebs and based south of Cleveland, just outside of the Great Lakes watershed.
While technically outside of Echo’s news community, we think it close enough to feature yet another university-based effort at reporting news and information in the context of a watershed.
The course was created with support from the H.W. Hoover Foundation and Ali Habashi of the University of Miami’s Arnold Center for Confluent Media.
How can farmers get a retirement plan so they don’t have to sell off their land?

We have a finacial manager and have invested just like if we had an employer for our retirement. We are currently having solar installed, which we feel is also an investment for our future.
