Watch Episode 4 of “Stories of Stewardship” Video Series

Nick Jorgensen‘s approach to farming in the 21st Century is simple and direct. “First and foremost, we are stewards of this land so that we can pass it on to the next generation where it’s better than it was when we received it,” Jorgensen, whose family farms in Ideal, South Dakota, says in Episode 4 of U.S. Wheat Associates’ (USW) “Stories of Stewardship” series.

Watch Episode 4 here:

USW’s new video series focuses on the sustainable practices applied by five farm families growing different classes of wheat across the range of conditions in the United States. They share a commitment to farm in ways that sustain economic viability to produce safe, wholesome wheat for the world while ensuring the land is passed on in better condition for future generations.

USW wants to thank Jorgensen; Tom Cannon of Blackwell, Okla., Ben and Stephanice Bowsher of Harrod, Ohio.; Art Schultheis of Colton, Wash.; and Aaron Kjelland of Park River, N.D. for sharing their Stories of Stewardship.

Future episodes will be released March 6, and March 20.
