Good Roots: Regenerative Farming at Ralston Farms

On the outskirts of Atkins, Arkansas, in the shadow of Petit Jean mountain, the 10-generation Ralston family farm is paving the way for new methods of farming. Logan Duvall, host of the first segment, will visit the Ralston family to explore some farming techniques they have been using as a way to give back to the land. These regenerative agriculture techniques involve farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, help restore soil health, resulting in high quality, nutrient dense food. The Ralstons will explain their methods and what it could mean for other farmers in the state to Logan Duvall.
