Synopsis

Tonight's Guests: Kathy Ruhf Kathy Ruhf describes her experience with the crucial topic of farmland access as the former Executive Director of Land For Good, which supports farmland access, tenure and transfer for the spectrum from new to retiring New England's farmers. The average age of US farmers is now 58 years; in the next decade when many of them will leave farming, will their land remain farmland? Trends (such as the increasing price of farmland) militate against it. Kathy describes all that must happen for farm transitions to work for the benefit of retiring and new farmers, their communities, and consumers. The many interests and skills required recall the idea of its taking a village to raise a child.
