In this interview I speak with Eric Herm, who blogs at Sonofafarmer.com. Eric is a fourth generation farmer in West Texas who shares his personal story and his perspectives on soil health, Peak Oil, sustainability, and economic collapse. If you want to hear the perspective of farmers who are in the trenches and on the frontlines of the fight for sustainable food production, then listen to this episode.

Hey, great to see you back on iTunes.
I thought i’d utilize your “under-utilized” comments forum to say that i really enjoyed this podcast with Eric Herm. I really enjoy hearing the perspective of farmers, particularly those who’ve seen the light. It would have been interesting to hear what ways he thinks are most useful to change farmers’ perspectives, ie, the change from reliance on chemicals to self-reliance. Sounds like he’s doing some very innovative things. I’ll definitely be checking out his blog.
Once again, well done, Frank.
