Farmers: Our Story from OurWaterWebs on Vimeo.
Video by Mark Kover
An alternative lens on agriculture’s need for a healthy environment.

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.
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.
