Thanks to Dr. Noah Perlut, Ray Ford, and Stan Eby for participating and being so generous with their time. Each of these men thoughtfully share their ideas about environmental stewardship and farming.
First we come to understand the world of a wildlife biologist, and as we do so we recognize the genuine interest and enthusiasm that Dr. Perlut has for the natural world and in particular the Bobolink. Next we meet Ray Ford, a farmer and writer who thoroughly describes his strategies for conservation haying and pasture management including the "songbird strip" . Later Stan Eby provides an interesting and informative account of the changes for the beef farmers of Bruce County and further abroad. Tom Franklin, the host of the People Nature Food Podcast, works to unpack the issue of the Bobolink as a threatened species in Ontario and how this relates to current farming practices.
