Celebrating Earth Month with my story about US growers practicing sustainable, regenerative farming in the Department of Agriculture's special edition published by USA TODAY / Studio Gannett. Insightful interviews include Robert Bonnie, former under-secretary for farm production and conservation at the USDA; Director of Regeneration Donna Kilpatrick of Heifer Ranch Center of Regenerative Agriculture in Arkansas; and Suzanne Hunt, co-owner of her seventh generation family farm and sustainable certified winery Hunt Country Vineyards in New York's Finger Lakes region. Publication link: https://usatodayspecial-va.newsmemory.com/?special=Department+of+Agriculture&date=20250317

I'm a down to earth Midwestern woman. Born. Raised. Living in our nation's Heartland. I love writing about anything and everything agriculture world-wide -- from today's resilient growers' future-focused farming methods and Indigenous people's ancestral agricultural practices, to sustainable agritourism initiatives, climate-smart agritech, ag history, and Mother Nature's power to teach us how to responsibly live off and with her land. While writing this piece, I learned a lot digging into successful, science-proven regenerative agricultural and ranching practices.

Sidebar: As a freelance journalist, you never know when a story research trip sprouts into a solid, meaningful storytelling opportunity. Last spring, I joined the GLP Films crew in New York's Finger Lakes communities as they filmed a sustainable tourism video project for the Finger Lakes Regional Tourism Council. That's when I met Suzanne and her husband Matt, co-owners of Hunt Country Vineyards.
