- Anita.

- Anita?

Pleasure meeting you.

- Raj, nice to meet you, Ed.

- You can come on inside and cool off for a little bit.

I do not care for row crop farming, like the conventional farming.

I grew up on a conventional farm.

My dad was a conventional farmer.

I feel there's a lot of health ramifications to conventional farming.

- [Esther] So, how are you seeing the climate affecting your farming?

- The climate change?

You know, for us it's not a topic of conversation.

We see it more as a political agenda.

Like, the people that are talking about climate change with their business suits and they have an agenda behind it.

It doesn't feel like that's a day-to-day thing you think about when you're just trying to manage your farm.

But we know the way we farm is healthy for our family and it's healthy for our land.

So... [Foreign Language 03:03:70] [Motor Running] ♪ Somber music playing ♪ - We were conventional farmers and we didn't wanna do that no more.

We didn't want to use Roundup.

We didn't want any of the chemicals or any of that.

So, we took all of our row crop.

Now it's pasture.

We're using the regenerative practices of rotating our cows and building soil structure.

[Laughing] - [Esther] Oh, here it is!

Hello!

- [Tricia] Area farmers around us, you know, we're kind of noted as the odd, the odd ones.

We do things different.

[Motor Running] If you would've asked me 10 years ago if we would've been certified organic, I would've said no.

[Foreign Language 03:57:59] But Eli being born with a heart defect...

When the nurse asked me what we had been exposed to six months prior to even pregnancy, that's really what has gotten us changed to a different way of farming.

It wasn't until we had that personal experience that we realized that we needed to change.

And I don't think everybody experiences that.

- Oh!

[Laughing] [Foreign Language 04:35:69] - [Ed] Heavenly father, we just thank you for our guests here tonight.

We ask, Lord, that you would bless their travels for them, provide safety and health.

We just thank you for this food and providing for us, Lord.

We also ask that you would bless our conversation.

In Jesus name, amen.

- [All] Amen.

- [Raj] What's your church?

- Reformed Presbyterian.

- [Esther] That's the church I also go to.

- [Ed] And we're required to be good stewards.

You know, so that's why we farm the way we do.

- [Tricia] Because ultimately it's not our ground.

It's God's ground.

- [Esther] Yes.

- [Tricia] Our church, they asked us, you know, is there something that we could pray for you?

And we told them some of our farm concerns.

We've had an incredibly hard year this year financially.

Our off-farm jobs support the farm versus the farm supports the farm.

So, I'm a school nurse.

- [Ed] I work at a coal fire power plant.

You know, there's... it's pretty clean really, but... - But when, I know you mentioned earlier on that when you heard climate change, you know, what you hear is men in suits with an agenda.

What is that agenda?

- [Tricia] I feel that people make farmers like the bad guy.

They just look at big industrial farms and say they're the reason we're having problems.

Where in reality it could be because lifestyle things that we do are causing the problems.

- I was just curious if it's always been that way or if you've noticed a change.

- [Tricia] Like on the weather, when we watch the news on TV, they'll talk a lot about weather trends and- - [Ed] You can see certain blocks of years the weather seems to trend to do this, you know?

- [Esther] But there will still be a difference between the weather, which can lead a change the way it took on.

And climate change, this is climate change because things have been changing over the years.

January, February, we used to have heavy rains.

Now sometimes the rain is not there.

[Foreign Language 06:50:04] - [Tricia] I cannot express to you how humbled it's made me feel to hear your struggles because it has made me realize that my little daily struggles that we may have with our animals, our finances are nothing compared to your daily struggles, and I'm sorry for that.

I- [Foreign Language 07:54:18] - [Peter] I would leave with the way that Jesus left his disciple, to say that peace be with you.

And as you live that there is also climate change.

So you could help us in spreading that word that maybe we could save more lives.

Thank you.

[Crosstalk] - [Esther] I don't think people should feel guilt.

They shouldn't feel guilt.

Sometimes you waste time with the guilt.
