We are covering Trust in Beef's Sustainable Ranchers Tour at the YY Ranch near Willcox, Arizona – about 30 miles from the border with Mexico. Dr. Ryan Wolker, state veterinarian at the Arizona Department of Agriculture, joins us to discuss the status of New World screwworm and what ranchers should be aware of. Then we meet our hosts, David and Tina Thompson of YY Ranch near Willcox, Arizona. Tina is a fifth generation farmer at the ranch and they are set up with sixth and seventh generation hands as well. And finally Hugh Aljoe of Noble Research Institute shares details about how Noble is expanding from regional to national in their education and training of sustainable practices, including increasing soil health.
