Severe Drought Expands in Florida

By Pam Knox
 
The latest Drought Monitor, released this morning, shows that while abnormally dry conditions were whittled away in Georgia and Alabama, the area of severe (D2) drought in Florida expanded to cover over 20 percent of the state (and a very small area of AL south of Mobile), and moderate drought (D1) increased due to very warm temperatures and the lack of rain in the past week. There is hope that rain in the coming few days will improve things or at least halt the expansion of drought in Florida.

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
