August 2021 Was the 6th Hottest August on Record for the Globe

NOAA released their monthly climate summary for the world earlier today. It showed that August 2021 was the 6th hottest August since records began in 1880. Summer 2021 was the second warmest on record for North America, following 2012. The Northern Hemisphere summer also tied 2019 as the 2nd hottest on record due to a record-hot July. In the Southeast, August was warmer than average, but the summer was near average.

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
