The Farmer's Coach: A Conversation with The Mill's Ben Hushon
Manage episode 327262978 series 2861922
Imagine a world without electricty, computers, and cars. In such a world, one group of people would emerge as indipsensible -- farmers. Even with all those things, farmers are still indispensible. We just don't pay attention.
On episode #65, Ben Hushon, agronomist for The Mill of Black Horse, stops by Mainstreet to remind us of how vital farming is to our daily lives, how technology is making farming more efficient and environmentally safe, and the threat inflation poses to this critical industry. As an agronomist for the local and family-owned Mill, Ben is essentially a "farmer's coach." Helping farmers grow more while also reducing their impact on the environment is what Ben does.
Of course, Mainstreet has never been merely about facts. We bring people on here to tell their stories. Ben shares with us memories of growing up on a dairy farm in Delta, Pennsylvania. Milking cows, feeding calves, fixing things, and driving tractors characterized Ben's life before he even entered his teens. Sundays meant church, large family gatherings, big hearty home-cooked meals, and ball games with enough cousins to make the Kennedys envious.
This is Ben's story and we're happy to share it on Mainstreet in this quinessential Harford County episode about farming.
