Sustainable Agriculture Projects and Apples Along the North Shore of Lake Superior

"Sustainable Agriculture Projects and Apples Along the North Shore of Lake Superior" are discussed in this Sept. 10 program. Hosts Diane Booth and Joan Farnam interview Randy Hanson, the founder, coordinator and  ‘farmer in chief’ of the Sustainable Agriculture project at the University of Minnesota-Duluth.  

They also talk to Cindy Hale, a researcher and farmer from St. Louis County who has been partnering with folks along the North Shore to increase apple production through a collaborative Minnesota Department of Agriculture grant. 

Ray Block, one of the  apple cooperators on the project from Cook County who has been growing apples intensively in the tall spindle apple growing system, joins the hosts in the studio as well.
