SARE Partnership with CUpS

The following videos are produced in partnership with Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) to showcase some of the top sustainable farming practices taking place across our nation.

The farmers who are chosen as part of this ongoing project have spent many years of their lives working to increase the profitability of their farms along with the quality of their products, while improving the health of the land, and of their surrounding environment. Of course, this is only a tiny sampling of farmers doing great work.

These videos offer a rare glimpse into the lives of farmers committed to sustainability and innovation and offer successful farming and ranching practices that may be of benefit to other farmers.
