In Iowa, relentless rainfall and mono-cultural farming threaten to deplete all topsoil within 35 years. Host Laura Zaspel visits Elizabeth Garst, a farmer leading the charge to transform agricultural practices. Elizabeth educates farmers and the public on cover crops, which protect and enrich soil, combat erosion, and enhance long-term fertility. Building on her ancestors' legacy of reviving Dust Bowl land into a thriving farm, she champions sustainable methods to preserve Iowa's soil and ensure a resilient future for agriculture.
