This episode is in celebration of Earth Day! Earth Day is an annual, global event on April 22 that has been going strong for 53 years after it was first created in 1970 to draw attention to environmental protection.
To discuss Earth Day and better understand how we can all do our part to protect Arizona's natural resources and beautiful outdoor spaces, we’ve invited four state park rangers from across Arizona to join us on the show: Ranger Ethan from Oracle State Park, Rangers Kyle and Jess from Kartchner Caverns State Park, and Ranger Sara from Lost Dutchman State Park.
We mention some resources on the show, so be sure to check out our fire safety and restrictions online resource, as mentioned by Ranger Sara; the International Dark Sky Association website and our episode with IDA ambassador Mike Weasner, as referenced by Ranger Ethan; and cave tour reservations as recommended by Rangers Jess and Kyle.
After listening, we hope you’re excited to take action with these simple steps towards becoming a more engaged environmentalist…and even join us for a fun Earth Day celebration at one of Arizona’s state parks, listed below (click on each link for event dates, times, and other details).

No terceiro episódio da Série Especial de Conservação do Solo e da Água, tivemos a honra de conversar com a Dra. Marie Bartz, a doutora minhoca, especialista em manejo e macrofauna do solo e filha do pioneiro do plantio direto Herbert Bartz. Marie conta um pouco dos feitos do seu pai, agricultor, atleta olímpico, engenheiro, entre outras habilidades de um homem que vivia a frente do seu tempo e que revolucionou a agricultura brasileira. Marie também conta sobre a importância da macrofauna do solo e dos feitos que ela também vem fazendo, dando continuidade a esse legado da família Bartz para a agricultura.
Um pouco desse legado você pode encontrar na segunda edição da biografia de Herbert Bartz, veja no link:

In some ways, Illinois farmers have it good. Much of the state boasts rich, dark soil that helps rank its production of corn and soybeans among the highest in the nation. Because the Prairie State is receiving frequent and more intense rainfall, it is increasingly important that farmers adopt conservation practices to keep soil nutrients in place. One of the best ways to combat this trend is to plant cover crops, which provide a natural way of protecting the soil and improving water quality. Thanks to American Farmland Trust’s support for the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s Fall Covers for Spring Savings program, more Illinois farmers are using cover crops, saving cash, and engaging in sound conservation practices.
In this episode of No Farms No Future, we’ll introduce you to 26-year-old farmer Frank Rademacher and AFT’s Midwest Director Kris Reynolds. Both are experienced Illinois farmers, and have been working with and promoting the use of cover crops for years.
No Farms No Future is a podcast created through a collaboration between Heritage Radio Network, American Farmland Trust, and The Food Voice.

When the U.S. outlawed alcohol during Prohibition, Kentucky farmers stopped growing rye, a key ingredient in one of Kentucky’s most iconic products—bourbon. As agricultural research compelled farmers to explore the benefits of cover crops, American Farmland Trust (AFT) detected an opportunity to revive rye. AFT launched the Kentucky Commercial Rye Cover Crop Initiative to capitalize on the synergy between Kentucky farmers, the state’s bourbon industry, and the quest to slow the impact of climate change.
This episode of No Farms No Future will introduce you to farmer Sam Halcomb and AFT’s Billy Van Pelt and Scott Franklin. They are three of the many collaborators in the Bluegrass State—including leaders from the distilling industry, University of Kentucky, and many other farmers—who are powering the effort to put Kentucky rye back into the world’s best bourbon.

Unintended encounters with cars and trucks are bad news for animals. Not only do creatures face dangers on existing roads, they’re often imperiled from the moment road construction begins. Assistant Research Scientist Jett McFalls talks about why protecting endangered snakes and toads is good for the creatures, and good for keeping road projects on schedule and on budget, too.
From the ground under our feet to the composition of earthenware, dirt is everywhere. It’s a home for subterranean creatures and it’s at the root (literally) of our food system. This episode shares stories of people who eat the earth as well as others who meticulously wash their produce. We take a look at the science behind soil carbon capture and hear about how one community farm is conserving water.

#67 Successful vegetation restoration and natural landscaping of solar farms is a vital part of the solar industry. Solar farms mean changes in the land and those changes can be good from an ecological perspective - but this requires expert planning, engineering and execution of soil preparation and conservation and proper seed lists and vegetation establishment and maintenance plans/execution.
Today on the Clean Power Hour we bring you Rhett Kerby, co-founder of KerTec and expert soil scientist based in west Texas and working across the Great Plains and Midwest of the US. We discuss the steps involved in properly planning, designing, engineering, and executing smart soil and vegetation restoration plans as they relate to the solar industry.
