What Changes Do You Want To Make?

This is my fourth month writing about how we (me, you and every other person that will take time to read these columns) can become positive forces in making our farms and the world a better place for all of us.

In the last couple of columns have concentrated on changes you can make to yourself. This month I am sticking with this train of thought. Next month we will begin looking at changes you may want to try on your farm. Our goal is to change the world – one farm at a time.

Get Ready For National Pollinator Week

Recent news reports of widespread honey bee deaths have raised the public’s awareness of the importance of bees just as national coalitions are mobilizing to protect all pollinators kicks off in June.  No less than the health and safety of our food and ecosystems are at stake.

Due to its enthusiastic reception across the nation last year, the 2^nd National Pollinator Week, June 22-28, coordinated by the Pollinator Partnership, is gearing up to involve even more people in the effort to promote awareness of the importance of bees, birds, bats, butterflies, beetles, and other pollinators.  These animals are responsible for the reproduction of an estimated one-third of the food we eat worldwide and play a key role in ecosystem health.
