There is a lot of attention that can be brought to the idea of industrial farming, which is something that cannot be written off. In fact, organic farming seems to be the method that deserves the most attention, which I am sure most would be able to agree with. That being said, you may be curious as to what can be done in order to bring this process to the forefront. If you are curious about learning more, there are quite a few stories worth going over.
A recent report on USDA spoke about organic farming and how the various efforts tied to it can be carried through. Those who have utilized these crops in the past can tell you how beneficial they are, which is something that authorities like Colle Farmers Market can attest to as well. This is the kind of point that was highlighted by Nevada native, Carol Huether. She was able to go many steps further, though, by going about this type of farming for the sake of building her own business.
Three years ago, Huether decided to forego her job, at that point, in the way of managing other businesses and instead found herself in possession of land. With 10 acres in her possession, Huether made it a point to utilize the various assets of Spring Creek, which was easier said than done. According to the article, the location has arid, flat terrain, which means that crops did not exactly benefit from the dust storms that came around. To say the least, it took some work for cultivation to come about.
Huether did not go about the farming efforts alone, as I am sure you can imagine. There was the presence of hoop houses, which are those which seem to resemble greenhouses in terms of functionality. However, unlike greenhouses, hoop houses are fueled not by the specific type of energy but rather the sunlight that seems to be rather prevalent as far as Spring Creek is concerned. I believe that this has been able to come into play tremendously, seeing as how the growing season in the region has extended.
It takes a lot of effort to make the most out of very little, which is where I feel like Huether's story is most fitting. It seems as though she was able to go about organic farming to a tremendous degree, despite all of the limitations that might have been set in front of her. It was just a matter of taking the natural components - sunlight being perhaps the most prominent - and building around them. The results that can come about, in my view, are ones that no conventional farm can bring to the surface.
