Eagles, dead hogs, and Murica’s farm system: in conversation with Tom Philpott

Update: 2022-11-11

Description

We talk with Tom Philpott about his book, Perilous Bounty, the future of the US farm system, its history and some book recommendations. We also plan his next trip to Iowa to enjoy some of our choicest birdwatching: eagles eating CAFO hog carcasses.
We apologize for the sound quality in a couple of spots, we recorded this literally in the middle of a storm.
