Healthy soil and sustainable growing

"Most beginning farmers are one hailstorm, flood, or tornado away from going 
out of business"

That statement was from Dayna Burtness after disaster struck the farm. The 
interview ends by asking for donations to recover. Donations??? I sympathise 
with hard work lost, but I grew up in East TX cotton/cattle country & never 
knew a real farmer who'd dream of taking charity.

My position now is smaller scale operations can be protected from most 
weather/climate changes by better planning, and I'm taking steps in that 
direction here.
