National Country Radio DJ Amy Brown, Shares the Inspiring Stories of America’s Dairy Farmers in New Digital Series That Helps Fight Our Country’s Intensifying Hunger Crisis.

Description:

With the holidays upon us once again, many of us are looking forward to enjoying meals together. But for far too many, just being able to get that food on the table can be a challenge.

With hunger intensifying across the country, America’s dairy farmers are working tirelessly to provide food for our families. But, their efforts don’t end there.

Through a new online series hosted by national country music radio host Amy Brown, dairy farmers are sharing their personal stories and recipes to help fight hunger. Amy joins us today from her home studio in Nashville, Tennessee to discuss the series and how you can help feed a family!

Program is Donating Meals to Feeding America for Each Comment or Share of “Where Goodness Grows” Episodes.

Dairy farmers have been working tirelessly to provide food for our homes, schools and restaurants throughout the pandemic. Now, by sharing their stories in a seven-episode digital series hosted by national country music DJ Amy Brown, their goodness is extending even further to help to fight hunger in the U.S.

In the series “Where Goodness Grows,” Brown (co-host of iHeartRadio’s The Bobby Bones Show) speaks with Land O’Lakes farmer-owners, sharing their inspiring stories and trying some of their home-crafted recipes. It’s an upbeat celebration of the work they do and the lives they lead on and off the dairy farm.

As part of its ongoing commitment to ending hunger in the U.S., Land O’Lakes is donating one pound of macaroni and cheese for a guaranteed maximum donation of 100,000 pounds of macaroni and cheese (equivalent to 83,000 meals) to Feeding America for every comment on or share of the series’ episodes.

Amy will be available for an interview to highlight the new video series and explain how viewers can help feed America simply by engaging. She will discuss:

· How Land O’Lakes is helping to feed America and how viewers can help those efforts with each episode they watch

· The unique inspiration that comes from dairy farmer-owners who have personified positivity and resilience throughout the pandemic

· Details of the ‘Where Goodness Grows’ digital series and why she wanted to be involved

· Most surprising things she’s learned about dairy farmers through hosting the series

· Her favorite family recipes provided by the farmer-owners themselves

· Where people can watch.

Your Pot Habit Is Contributing to a Guacamole Crisis

As California faces severe water shortages and farmers let their groves go fallow, a study finds that marijuana growers are sucking streams dry.
News on Wednesday that California’s snowpack has hit a record low of just 6 percent of normal means next-to-no spring runoff will flow into streams and reservoirs that supply water to the cities and farmers who feed much of the nation.
But before you light up a (legal) marijuana cigarette to take your mind off impending doom, consider this: With every puff you take, you could be making the epic drought even worse.
A new study finds that pot growers in the Northern California weed belt are diverting 100 percent of the water in some streams to irrigate their cash crops.
“Last summer, we went out and picked a handful of streams in the study area, and we looked at real-time stream flow,” said Scott Bauer, an environmental scientist with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Four out of those five streams went dry.”
A Humboldt County, California, pot farm.
That means no water for endangered salmon and other wildlife, not to mention people. Some avocado growers, for instance, are letting their groves go dry because of water shortages and the high price of irrigation. In other words, kiss your guacamole goodbye.
Agency scientists focused on illegal pot operations in Humboldt County, the epicenter of California’s marijuana industry. Greenhouses dot the hillsides, and the pot plants inside are thirsty: Each uses about six gallons of water per day, compared with the 3.3 gallons wine grapes consume.
Wildlife officials started receiving calls about stream diversion in 2009, said Bauer, who is based in the Humboldt town of Eureka. “A number of us started going out with game wardens called out to grow sites and our focus was to document the environmental damage,” he said.
The scientists noticed significant problems—stream diversion, hillsides graded to make level growing fields, and dirt being dumped into waterways.
“We started to realize this was a real problem,” said Bauer.
In 2012, as the drought began to take hold, the researchers used Google Earth to count all the plants and figure out how many are in greenhouses, and to compare the number of plants with stream flow data.
They chose four areas, all surrounded by forests, and all with streams containing endangered salmon. The scientists estimated that the growing operations were using between 138,200 and 191,265 gallons of water a day. People in Northern California, for comparison, use an average 172 gallons of water per day per person.
Marijuana growers were taking 100 percent from three of the streams studied and 25 percent of a fourth stream.
Those streams aren’t just picturesque—they’re critical to the survival of the coho and Chinook salmon and steelhead trout.
Will there be a movement for sustainably grown pot?
“I think if people understand what’s going on, hopefully they’ll asking questions about how green is their product,” Bauer said. “If they’re concerned about our state’s natural resources, they should be asking those questions. Is this something that isn’t harming California’s resources?”
