conservation
"I think farmers and those on the ground are very pivotal in conservation practices, it's where the rubber hits the road. We don't go out and do things for fun, we need to have a motivation to change and to do things. Where the environmental and conservation movement becomes real is where the actions are being taken."

"Something that we can't forget is that soil and that water, to the grower, that's his livelihood. He's got to protect that and take care of that."
