This Friday, October 7, 2011, on Garden Gossip, we'll be talking with Eric Helm, journalist-turned farmer-turned activist about the ravages on the earth of modern agriculture. Raised on a cotton farm in Texas, Eric got a degree in broadcast journalism and traveled the world. When he returned to the land his family had been farming for almost 100 years he was startled at the changes he saw in the land. He began to change his practices and speak out against the damages caused by modern commercial agriculture. His new book, Son of a Farmer, Child of the Earth, chronicles this journey and was awarded "Book of the Week" from the Organic Consumers Association. Join us at 11am PDT for the live show or listen to the rebroadcast Friday at 9pm and Saturday 11am.
